Agreed. To be diesel is too expensive (in many areas). Why diesel generators are readily available.
Another issue with propane is unless you have local source, you gotta get it delivered.
- yes maybe only a few times per year, but still reliant on third-party distribution of energy source

Natgas > propane > diesel imo
Yep, I agree but this would be only backup. I don't want to rely on it on day-day basis.
In apocalypse, heating must be pain wood, electricity solar. Cooking and water heating on electricity and on the fire stove as backup.
But in my latitude the solar is very, very bad in winter moths, so to survive the winter without blackout I need something as backup.
Also I think that natgas (we call it CNG) works same as propane for those electric generators.
I breafly check and they run CNG, LPG and benzin or diesel. Depends on the model.
