You can't make electricity cheaper than you can buy it.

By a factor of at least 5x. It can be way more for an old technology
generator.

A 5kw generator you might find at the home store with a Briggs engine
and a regular alternator will burn at least a gallon and a half an
hour. That ends up being about a buck a KWH.


Rather pay to run the genny than sit in a too cold or too hot house.

Well, you could go out and commune with nature instead of pressing your
nose against a cold or hot window.
