The gas station is on the way to places we are going and we only fill up about every 200+ miles. We get 50 miles to the gallon. I haven't noticed any fumes. It is a bit noisier than electric but doesn't bother us. It is fuel injected so no carburetor. The spark plug needs to be replaced once a year and only takes a few minutes. The fuel filter is replaced every 4 years and the air filter is replaced once per year and only takes a few minutes. It doesn't leak oil but even if it did, oil is much better than battery acid, which will eat through concrete. Essentially, we put gas in it about once per month and there is about 20 minutes of maintenance once per year.
