Listerati,
Ok. I am not an engineer. Ergo, when these discussions get into
exponentials and laminar flows, this red haze starts to descend on my
vision.
So I have a PDQ (probably dumb question) regarding altitude above sea
level, please be kind and only mildly scientific in any responses.
Everything else being equal, is a carburated car more or less likely to
knock (or ping) as a factor of octane at high altitude, as opposed to
sea level? Or, is this a neutral consideration, with leanness and
richness of the mixture being the primary (or only) variable with
altitude due to the difference in air density?
