OOOooopps.. typo..
Should read:
"Rise in altitude and DROP in temp"

Point well made. True, as you go up in altitude.. temps drop.. [as a rule
of thumb, 1 degree F per thousand ft. {same rule, different math for
"meter/Centigrade}]. However, along with that rise in altitude, and temp,
you also have a lowering in air density.. In the brief comments previous,
That's interesting, I would have thought that even though the air is
less dense at altitude it is also a lot colder.
Also I found that Diesel engines work better at night, which I guess may
be down to air density?
