I understand that propane generators use more fuel but last time I bought propane it was around $2 a gallon. I have no idea what it is now. The OP said it cost him $70 to run the generator for 50 hours. That's about $1.40 an hour. My diesel generator is supposed to be burning about .5 gallons an hour under load. I've never checked it but I would guess if I had both AC's running it would be burning the .5 and hour. Diesel fuel right now is about $4 a gallon. So that means it cost me $2 an hour to run my generator versus the OP's $1.40 an hour.
