Default How does my elevation mess with the fuel

I am from Northen VA thats where my car is now, the elevation where I live is about only about 100 feet above sea level. Now I am at school where the elevation is about 1800 feel above sea level. When I bring my car down here how is it going to effect my fuel, richer? leaner? Will my boost transition be different?

at higher elevation, there is less oxygen available, so you would run richer.
