This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The gas analogy isn't very good because cars are very inefficient at turning gas into power. So it's substantially more than 31 gallons worth in a car.

Yeah even a very efficient generator would probably use at least 90 gallons of gas to get 6 kW*weeks.
