Diesel or natural gas is the way to go. Gasoline and propane have been near impossible to get here.

I've got a diesel generator and I've been fine (it's still running right now). I've got plenty of diesel on hand, but if I needed it, there are lots of gas stations out there with signs for "Diesel Only."

With that said, I've already ordered a natural gas stand-by generator and will have it plumbed into my homes natural gas line. That way, even if I'm not home to roll out the generator, fill the tank, connect it, start it, etc it will kick on and my home will be warm and bright.

Otherwise, I've been running around like a nut trying to clean stuff up at home, clean stuff up at work, and keep the generator humming. Not having to worry about refilling the tank would be one thing off my mind.

I've also got a 7kw gas generator, but forget it, it's useless to me if I can't get gas. I loaned it out to a cousin and now I basically told him he could keep it.
