On huge advantage of a gasoline powered generator over a tank fed propane
unit is that you can always syphon a few days worth of gas out of your car,
but if the roads are closed and your LP tnak runs dry, your screwed.
That said, the longest we've EVER been without power hear in northern
Virginia is 4 to 5 days from some nasty hurricanes. Typical storm damaged
lines around here are restored in a matter of hours.

How much fuel do all you guys with whole house generators keep on hand?
How much fuel does one need to, say, go for 10 days? Does everyone have
that on hand?
What next, if you run out of fuel...
[--Note - not an argument, a serious question. I know lots of guys with
generators, but I bet they have only one or two days of fuel on hand. What
does it really take? Does one need a submarine-size tank, like we see in
rural areas, to go the distance? ]
