Thanks for the information. I heard about the natural gas generator last week on a radio show, but it seems like the initial cost would be too high for me to justify.

I faired pretty well throughout Ike, but now is the time to plan ahead. I am looking for recommendations on different brands of gasoline-powered generators. I have heard that Honda is one of the better brands. Also what are the brands to avoid? One of my friends got one after Rita, but never checked it out. When he filled in for Ike, he found he had a leak! I don't know the brand, but it was a low-end manufacturer that he bought from one of the big box stores.

I haven't figured out the size yet, but I am looking for one that would keep the refrigerator going, a couple of lights, and optionally a TV, computer, window AC unit.
