Why not select your favorite generator, go online like you did here, and get a specific answer. Do this for two or three different generators and you will have your own "thumb rule".

Yes. It can be found in the manufacturer's technical sales literature.

Why not go the whole hog and relate it to the electrical output power of the generator?
