Also, you will never run your generator at 100% so look at the 50% and 75% usage as a more accurate fuel consumption

ETA: size you generator at 25-33% over peak load. You do not want to run your machine at 100%

I also disagree that it is easier to get diesel than it would be propane in a long outage. But that's just my opinion

Availability isn't the only consideration. Deterioration is a big deal with diesel:

Propane has an indefinite shelf life.
