    Interesting fact: due to the thin air at altitude, gas cars have less power here than at sea level. I did the math once and my car loses 30-50hp from sea level to Colorado. This feels great when I’m in Georgia or so, but then I get my slug of a car back when I climb back up to 6000+ feet.

    I don’t think electric cars are impacted by this, and I’ve never made that connection before. Perhaps this adds to their popularity in CO?
