At what altitude points is it necessary to rejet carbs? Will a car coming from the SF Bay Area need to be rejetted in Reno (4500ft)?

For what it's worth (probly not much) my car ran really rich at sea level. I used to get about 18 miles per gallon with my 2.2 type four with weber carbs. I took it up to Sandia Peak 10,400 feet and the plugs would load up till I kept the revs up and it ran kinda rough but it ran ok enough to get up there and back. I re-jetted since then and I get 25mpg at sea level now, so I think it will be fine in Tahoe.
