I ran two fridges and a Mac Pro (notoriously power-hungry) for 40 hours on two gallons of regular gasoline (and never had to move the vehicle the entire duration). The only caveat was I could only power on the computer when both fridges were off (or else the inverter, not original to the Toyota, will enter an `overload` state).
- bryanlarsen 2y agoI use about 1kWh per 8h of fridge. So two fridges for 40 hours would be about 15% of battery, and 2 gallons is about 15% of your tank. But average power usage of your Mac Pro would have been a lot higher since it would use power a lot more steadily than the fridge. And unplugging the fridge for a bit doesn't substantially change its power consumption. So you did better than me by however amount your Mac Pro used. Biggest advantage I had was I didn't have to open my garage door while it was powering the fridge.
