I powered my house for a couple days with my hybrid Camry on much less than a single tank of gas. Hooked it up to the breaker through an inverter.

The "generator" in this setup automatically turns on and off according to need. Mostly it was off.

I wasn't running the house at full normal electrical usage. No AC. Kept the lights and fridge and computers on though.

Of course you can do this with any kind of car. But a hybrid (not a pure electric as in the article) is surely ideal.
