There is no question that people in higher elevations, like Denver, get better fuel mileage than the rest of us. I've seen it on my own vehicles when visiting or passing through. Why? I don't understand. But could it be that significant? Not doubting, just asking.

Someone at sea level will not match that mpg. Plan on 12 mpg on premium for any V-8 Cayenne in stop-and-go driving.
We're considering the hybrid version after the first of the year when the warranty ends. I've heard it's just about as fun torque-wise as the turbo but I've yet to drive one. It's either that or we would like to try the diesel X5, a friend has one and raves about it.
