No - if it is being combusted with oxygen to produce power. There is less oxygen in the atmosphere the higher you ascend, hence producing less power. Therefore to produce a comparable power output, you need to use more fuel. Witness the power drop you feel in your vehicle when driving at high altitudes plus increase fuel consumption, and the performance drop athletes experience when competing e.g. Olympic games in Mexico which is 7000 ft above sea level.

Why high altitude for aircraft and not 1000ft?
The higher an aircraft is the less air in the atmosphere. this means less air resistance which means you can go faster with less effort. also less air means less fuel burnt for same power. this saves fuel. for this reason most aircraft will operate at high altitudesThere are also fewer obstructions at high altitude than there are at 1000 feet.
Why at high altitude the amount of oxygen decreases due to increase of carbon dioxide?
Most airplanes fly at high altitude because it is faster and safer as long as the cabin is pressurized. There is less clouds and turbulence. The airplane uses less fuel.
Why air bcomes less dense in altitude?
Because of less gravity in high altitude
How does high altitude affect your car's engine?
High altitude gives you less air, therefore a bit less power
Why fuel consumption is less in 4 stroke engine then in 2 stroke engine?
Why the fuel consumption is less in 4 stroke engine as compared to 2 stroke engine
What motor has the lowest fuel consumption?
Basically the smaller the engine the less fuel it will use.
Why does breathing rate increase at a high altitude?
At high altitude, there is less oxygen, so breathing rate is increased to compensate.
What is the average fuel consumption of a person?
12 per cent less fuel per seat.
Why are airplanes faster at high altitude?
Higher altitude air is less dense. Less density means less air; less air means less friction, and less friction means a higher speed.
Are the contents of an aerosol can less at high altitude?
No, at a higher altitude there is less atmospheric pressure pushing on the contents of the can and the contents inside the can will expand and you would have more.
Is the amount of oxygen in each breath less at high altitude?
yes
When might you feel a force less than 1g?
At high altitude.
