Ok, first... people with generators should run them outdoors or at the very least in a shed or garage not attached to the house and ventilated.
Secondly, and this is a tough one that nobody touched on in this thread, which surprises me but don't...
CARS RUN ON LARGE ENGINES!
Imagine the cost of fuel idling your car for 12 hours to power a 400w AC inverter that MIGHT keep your fridge running.
GENERATORS RUN ON SMALL ENGINES!
5-10HP!!! And they are capable of operating 800-1500w AC That can run your fridge a lamp a tv a computer a skillet....
