My 5.5KW generator burns a 5 gallon tank in 8 hours - now
that's not fully loaded, but with several lights, refrigerator, fireplace blower
motor operating and TV set. But in any case 125 gallons would give me
125/5 = 25 * 8 = 200 hours.
Give price of gasoline - wish my rotary did as well

Just how
long would 125 gallons of gas run a 5000 W generator?

Bob,
FYI in my non-flying RV I have an Onan 5500 W generator. This
really is overkill for my unit but I got it cheap. My wife and I dry camp
every year for a Rodeo (She's the cowpuncher), and running the generator for
the AC about 1/2 the time, (around 1000 W) it uses about 0.5 GPH. Fire up the
microwave at the same time and the tables say .75-1.0 GPH at 4-5K W. I've
never worked it that hard so I'm not sure of those figures.
The short answer is A LONG TIME.
