what would make you say that Victor? a car can idel for more than 24 hours on a tank of gas and if you have a large enuf inverter you will be more than fine. we used to leave our vans running up north 24/7 and we would fill up with gas every couple days or more depending on the driving we also did.. for some one who doesent want to drop over 1000.00 on a generator a inverter makes perfect sence.. for a quiet generator that would power a full circut and run more than a couple hours on a tank would be over 2000 bucks.. not practical for most of us..

here is a cheeper generator that would be nice

and here is one that I would love to have

there is a middle of the road one that will power a 6500 amps and has a 8 hour run time @ 50% load.. this one is 2500.00 and would be a very nice choice for running your whole tank plus the lights and a electric heater in the house.
