A new generator 2,000 watts max output $300, 9 hrs run time
subaru portable generator
22HP - makes 10,000 watts
42amp @ 240 V
50% load, 11.6 hours 8.6 gallon of fuel
50% load = 5,000 watts = 0.75 gallon / hour
25,0000 watts = 3.75 gallon / hour

@ 2,000 rpm 100HP - makes ?? watts
100 HP = 5x10,000 = 50,000 watts
@ 2,000 rpm = 70mph / @ 20 mpg = 3.5 gallon per hour
@ 12 hours of run time = 42 gallon of fuel
@ 24 hours of run time = 84 gallon of fuel
