In my experience, the gallon an hour for every 10kw load has been very close. So close in fact you can take the price per gallon, say $1.95 for example, and know that it is going to cost you $.19 cent per kilowat to produce your own power at that fuel price.
People here get wound up thinking a larger unit will bleed them dry, if you pull a 2kw load overnight, it is going to use very close to .2 gallon per hour regardless if it is the 02 or the 05 units, with the 05 using just alittle more(it would take a month of running to notice a difference)
Bottom line, load=fuel
The only problem is ensuring you do not wetstack.
