gasoline sucks as it does not store well if I had my way you would see almost no gas.

I think this depends on the gas. I had ethanol-free gas I kept in my basement for 5 years and it ran like fresh when I dug it out. I've also had ethanol gas that was unusable after a season.

The blockchain grows about 50G per year, so you're good for another 10 years. 1T sounds like the right choice.

I agree. SSDs have a sweet spot and 1T is about where it is right now unless you have specific needs. I've never found upgrading to be much of a pain, particularly for data drives. In fact, keeping system drives as small as possible helps keep upgrades snappy.

$50K is being such a tease right now.

Keeping me from my comfy bed...

Re: Propane vs gas. You need 1.38 times as much propane as gasoline for the same energy by volume (assuming liquid propane) and for 20lbs of propane, the container weighs about as much as the fuel it contains

Why does the ethanol mix not store well?
Pure petrol stores well, as you said, I have also used really old petrol from 20 liter cans I had stored in my garage.
And ethanol also stores well, I have 40 year old vodka that still works fine. So why does the mix not age well?

i thought it absorbed water or something. even with fuel stabilizer it wont last really. hate it as i keeo a good reserve of gas for the generators, as much as i rotate and try to blend old and new i have found gas thats iffy when used. and thats NOT want you want to hear in your genset powering your house after a disaster.

may go with phils idea and buy a new genset that runs both LP and gas, i think there may be retorfit kits too,, unsure.
