Hello, lightoutandarmed, welcome to Tech Log!

This subject has been discussed a few times before, so you will find a fairly good technical explanation on the "Why are jet engines more fuel efficient at high altitude?" thread.

As well as that, there is an interesting discussion on the "Why don't jets fly higher?" thread that you may find useful.
