Per :
We had a friend who was out at the end of a dead end street after
Charley and they lived on a generator for months. They say the problem
was "feeding the monster".
Sometimes fuel is hard to come by and even then you are hauling a lot
of it.

Somebody in one of the generator fora coined the phrase "Lifeboat vs
Cruise Ship"....

I opted for "Lifeboat" (2 KW Honda) and the neighbor for "Cruise ship"
(6 KW Home Depot).

During the nine-day outage last year the neighbor was driving all over
Southeastern Pennsylvania getting gas for his Home Depot monster while I
was sitting at home experiencing a certain degree of schadenfreude....
