You're both right. But ultimately it's the cylinder pressure which, as it increases, requires a higher octane (resistance to detonation). Thus: lower air density=less cylinder-fill=lower cylinder pressures = lower octane requirement.

Great explanation Maytag. Does that mean even if the P car was tuned (chipped) for 93+ Octane, at higher altitude the increased Octane would not make a difference?
