> Why propane? Because gasoline slowly degrades (polymerization) and needs to be drained, disposed of, and replaced with new (typically every year or so). Propane doesn't degrade over time.

If you have natural gas piped to your home then a natural gas generator is a solid option. Expensive, though.

A good bit cheaper than propane, though. The only people I know who use propane do so because they don't have NG pipes to their house.
