fwiw, my Honda 2000 generator will run for 45 minutes on a pint of regular gas and is very quiet. I typically run it for 45 minutes every other day. I have never measure how many amps the converter can put into the batteries.

I have never measured how much gas my GMC 2500HD would use in an hour while idling. I do know that on a good day I can get 13 mpg. 11 when towing.
