Actually, it is worse than that. About 3% per 1000 feet. :(

What I was taught, reduce the power rating on the label of the generator by 1% for every 1000 feet you are above sea level, 3% for every 1000 ft. above 3000 ft. So basically, if you are at 8,000 ft, your generator's output would be reduced by 18%.
1,000 ft - 1%
2,000 ft - 1%
3,000 ft - 1%
4,000 ft - 3%
5,000 ft - 3%
6,000 ft - 3%
7,000 ft - 3%
8,000 ft - 3%
Total reduction: 18%
This is what I was taught. If this is wrong, please correct me so I know.
Thanks!
