I've heard this 0% loss statistic from a few others as well.
I think half of what the deal is saying here is reasonable as well. The 2.0T does seem to feel better at this altitude versus the 3.2. Due in part to much of what the other guys have stated as well.

However, the Audi is just as susceptible to power loss as the BMW due to the lack of oxygen we have and of course air pressure. He is of course attempting to sell you a car
