    Default Gas millage affected by alltitude?

    Question? I`ve had 3 olds Delta 88`s over the years, my latest is from Florida.
    The other 2 got around 600klm per tank (ontario cars), this one gets 480 per tank. I was in florida last April with it and it got 650 per tank. I thought it was a computer thing, so I swaped in one from toronto but still get the same millage. Is there something else that could be causing this?

    Are they all the same year? There are a lot of variables that could cause that.
    Different tire size. Engine strength (weak/low compression on a couple cyls) just to name a couple different variables.
