Just doing a little back-of-the-envelope figurin', let's say we'll run the small generator at full capacity four days straight (96 hours), and the big generator 4 hours each day (16 hours total) for Edwin's toys.

    96 x 0.158 = 15.2 gallons

    16 x 0.275 = 4.4 gallons

So worst case we probably need around 20 gallons of gasoline. I think Academy has 6-gallon gas cans; I'll grab a few of those.

TODO: investigate whether sound baffling is necessary

And now, power usage!

1KW Generator (assuming we get our hands on it and get it running)

    Full load (900W): 0.158 gallons/hour

    1/4 load (225W): 0.072 gallons/hour

This will be dedicated to running the radio station. Projected load:

2KW Generator

    Full load (1600W): 0.275 gallons/hour

    1/4 load (400W): 0.073 gallons/hour

Edwin's compressor saturates the big generator all by itself, but it should only need to be pressurized once per day.
