Has anyone discussed the cost of running the generator over say 1 week of no power. What are yall seeing as far as gasoline/natural gas prices?
Ours ran for 5 days after Gustave. When we got out gas bill we broke it down and it cost us around $25 a day to run. That was 2008 so I don’t remember what natural gas prices were but it was a hell of a lot cheaper than regular gas generators at the time considering it was over $3 a gallon back then.

We moved into our forever home after being flooded out in 2016. Had a manual transfer switch put in during construction - switches between the mains and the generator plug. We don't want full house comfort during an extended outage, just want to keep the Refrig/Freezer underway, ceiling fans and maybe one TV with the internet modems. A $2000 gasoline powered Honda should do the trick for us.
