I submit that driving a Vanagon is more challenging here in the West.  I
notice my van runs better and better as I approach sea level -- more power
and better MPG.  I live at about 4500' and get 12 to 13 MPG.  At sea level I
get 3 MPG more.  Is there a fix for this other than moving East
(unthinkable)?

The highest point in Pennsylvania is lower than the lowest point in
Colorado.  This is true for several Eastern states.  The highest point in
Florida is the top of the bridge connecting Tampa-St. Pete.
