[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the cost of a generator that you could run to keep a fridge a couple of TV a couple of laptops and a fan or a heater 18+ hours a day for a few days or even up 2 a week? I think we're going to have get ready for real zombieapocalypse this winter. I'm really asking.[/quote]

For $450 we got a 4500 watt generator which is enough to run what we need. Sometimes we have to unplug something to use another appliance, like unplug the fridge to use the microwave.  I got tired of all the outages of PEPCO. There were 2 last summer in 100 degree heat and then another in December.  But we had bought the generator in November, so we got to use it 1 month after buying it. You have to go out a couple times a day and get more gas to run the thing.  I think it runs up to 8 hours on what it holds in its tank.

I had to clean out my freezer twice last summer, plus we stayed at a motel (over $100 a night - College Park), so that all adds up pretty fast.  We have lost power so many times, that I consider my generator our "Emergency Preparedness".  Some of my neighbors have generators.  [/quote]
