Yeah, that's definitely a factor and I've considered it. Santa Fe is at 7,000ft and I was at 0ft before. But the difference seems really, really stark to me—too big for altitude alone to account for, I think.

I'm driving the car to LA in February, so I guess I'll be able to tell if it's back to its old self when I get to sea level again—assuming the dealership in NM doesn't find anything wrong.
