contents The statistical mechanics of an ideal gas of point particles moving in a time independent background metric with $g_{0j}\neq 0$ is investigated. An explicit calculation shows that when there is no background electrostatic or magnetostatic field the thermodynamic pressure, energy density, and thermally averaged energy-momentum tensor depend on temperature and chemical potential only through the ratios $T_{0}/\sqrt{g_{00}}$ and $μ_{0}/\sqrt{g_{00}}$. A background magnetostatic field does not change this, however with a background electrostatic field the previous results are multiplied by a factor $\exp(-eA_{0}/T_{0})$, which is an exception to the strict Tolman-Ehrenfest rule because the system is open.
