Winds knocked out the power about noon. We didn't have a clue as to how much propane is burned during an outage, so we scaled back the oil furnace, shut-off computer, kept the TV off. No lights. Power was out four hours. We did use water (well is powered by electric) and open the refrigerator as usual. Popcorn popper was used for a few minutes. Temp outside was about 50 but bright and sunny so the furnace came on only once for a short period.
Anyway, the needle on the propane gauge didn't move at all. Guess this wasn't really a good test and we still don't know how much propane is burned during a typical outage.
