Recently took a 2 week trip.
Kept the fridge on gas about 4 days before, 14 days traveling, and 2 days after.
Ran the generator 4 hours one day and 2 hours another day for AC. Also ran it 10 or 15 minutes 4 times for microwave use.
Ran the water heater through a heating cycle I think about 8 times.
Then, on the way home it turned cold and used the furnace 2 nights in about 35 degree temps.
That was on a 20 pound tank and it still has a pound or two in it.
Could also be the tank wasn't filled to capacity when filled.
I weigh my tanks after filling. The 30# tanks weigh 55# when full and one 20# weighs 37# and the other 39#.
I also have one tank with a gauge and find it inaccurate.
Thats pretty darn good usage for only a 20 lb. tank? I personally never got that much usage with a 20lb.and I checked for leaks too. LOl
