Performance 850 1995

I live in Denver--Mile high--5280 ft.

I understand that as long as the car is fuel injected that the injectors automatically adjust for altitude. I have an 850-R, so the turbo does help, but I also owned a 94 base model 5 spd, and never had any problems with performance. In the mountains at 10-11,000 ft all cars are going to have a tough time, with exception of the turbo. Remember though, at this altitude 10,000 ft, it is going to suck gas and a lot of it.

In town, I average 18.5-19. On the highway I get 29-31.

Hope this helps.
