At higher elevations. White gas or kerosene?

I've always used white gas at the elevation I live and camp at (you won't get much higher) and never had a problem. Never tried kerosene, so can't say if it's better or worse.

you will always get a better burn using the superfuel. With that said at altitude i never noticed a difference between it and the cheap coleman white gas. I have burned everything from regular unleaded to diesel. I live at 9200 and use it above 12000 often. I liked the superfuel, but not the cost. I found good ole fashion gasoline burned nicely.. just smells bad in a pack
