Yea Zig, As soon as I hit Denver I was only pulling 35mph for quite sometime. Several points through the mountains I was going that slow. I tried to make up for it by breaking 100mph on the downhills. ::)

Ya know, a Turbo makes up for
that loss in the atmosphere and
the pressure at sea level (14.7 PSI)
after all it's not the engine sucking
in fuel and air, it's the atmospheric
pressure filling the cylinders, and a
Turbo makes a high pressure zone
right where you want it, in your intake
manifold    :)
