. . . The 5000-foot elevation made it hard for my cars to "breathe." Noticed it first with my golden Olds, and then in the 280CE and the 420SEL. When I brought the 420 back down to Louisiana (and parts of NO are *below* sea level, BTW), it became a ball of fire.

(Though I got better gas mileage in Denver than in NO, part of which I attribute to better roads and longer distances between stoplights.)
