Just as an aside, higher altitude, less dense air does not deter knock, but increases its likelihood. This is a phenomenon known as "density altitude" in aviation, and it has to do with reduced aircraft (and thus for us car guys, engine) performance due to high humidity, high temperature, high altitude- all of which cause lower air density and reduced performance.
