This is why small inverter generators are key. Five gallons of gas and my golf Cart's gas tank will keep me in power for five to seven days. That's not the case with a standard OHV 3,500 watt Genset.
Again, I lived through a mass power outage for a week. I saw the fallacy of large generators in practice when fuel is not readily available.
