Any way you look at it, this running the genny will not be an inexpensive thing to do.
Let's see...gas is currently $3.79 at Melborne. $3.79 @ .4/hr comes to about $1.50 worth of gas each hour, or a third of a cup of java from Starbucks....I fail to see where your issue comes in. I'd sacrifice that cup of Joe for three hours of being comfortable...:W.....just sayin....Dennis
Thanks for your input.
Gas in Melbourne is closer to $3.29 per gallon & my spec sheet from Onan says that I will burn .7 of a gallon per hour with a half load which comes out to $2.30 per hour for say 12 hours comes out to about $28 for each 12 hour period, times our 14 day stay & you are close to $400 not counting the many trips to the gas station to fill the 5 gal cans. That is really a bit more than I'd spend for coffee anywhere & any day.
Then comes the night when you are not allowed to run any generators & we get really warm ?
Not a nice picture.......
