Clarification?

With the higher altitude going below your reccomending octane won't hinder your vehichles performance.

From what I understand that would be the correct statement as most engines are tested and calibrated for lower altitude operating conditions. My brother is a big time car guy and had his engine tuned out to run with 94 octane gas when he was living in BC's lower mainland, and said he had to use regular fuel on a trip to Yellowstone park due to the alititude to get his car to have any type of performance there.
