One good idea is to buy a generator that uses the same fuel as your car so that it's multipurpose.
Oh yeah I have a 6500W gas generator and a Suburban with a 44-gal fuel tank so rotating through the gas cans is easy. Remember though that many folks in the US live in townhouses or apartments with no garage or detached outbuildings for storage, which would make storing gasoline a problem.

Well, Maria proved me as wrong as I could be. Dominica (a fabulous place) just got trashed, and it looks as though Puerto Rico is going to have a hell of a time. Hope it stays on the current predicted track north and east and misses you guys on the west of the panhandle. I'd be filling those bathtubs and water storage containers just in case though...
