So carry an additional propane bottle or a gas can. I can see no difference between those two choices. For me, the increase in BTU's from gasoline would be the deciding difference. Not to mention, more gasoline can be had, literally, EVERYWHERE. Even when the gas station is closed sometimes. Finding propane can be more problematic, as we discovered at 6pm one Saturday night while boondocking when our propane tank ran empty and we discovered that the second propane tank had developed a leak in the pigtail, and was also empty. Fun times.
for me it's either gas or it needs to be tri fuel, gas, propane or NG. I have my honda's converted to tri fuel. that way if we loose power I can run the generator for an "infinite" time on NG and keep the house warm. if we don't have NG or electric, well then it's likely there is another major issues such that we wouldn't in the house anyway,
Gas when we are traveling, NG in an emergency at home.
