It can get expensive.
Wow! That is really surprising to me.

I just figured the running my house on electricity cost about $12 / day in August. I guess if you had a gasoline one that would handle a house, and you ran it 24 hours, it would probably use ~ 20 gal. At $3.50 / gal that would be $70 / day.

Re: Generator Recommendations???

Any idea on the cost of running a whole house (say 15k) unit on nat gas for a day? Just wondering if it's cost prohibitive for an extended period of power outage.
