[Vwdiesel] Altitude compensation

[David Cook]

Andrew-

That (altitude) was also mentioned as a possible
factor.  As I said before, we basically decided that
it was a combination of multiple factors that
determined how the car did on the different grades of
fuel.

Most people agree that if you put lower grade fuel in
your car and the engine doesn't knock or ping, you
aren't hurting anything.  You will have to do your own
Butt Dyno tests to decide if there is a loss or gain
in power and your own MPG calculations to see if there
is any change, positive or negative.
