Too much fuel usage even compared to vanilla generator
https://imgur.com/a/OiXItM9

As you can see in the screenshot I posted above,
New generator has 25.34L of fuel left and it will run for 38 hours.
On the other hand, vanilla generator has 72% fuel left(=7.2L) and it will run for 4 days and 13 hours(=109 hours)
Even if they are using the same amount of fuel/hour, vanilla generator is running much longer on same amount of fuel.
New gen has 3.5 times more fuel but runs 1/3 time so it is about 10.5 times efficiency, rendering 10 times bigger fuel tank pointless.
Since no one else has posted about this, this might be a bug on my end so I will keep changing my mod list for solution.

Using only these 6 mods(last one is a font mod) still shows the same result.
Cheat menu and debug menu used to replicate the issue.

I can assume that you have a lot of equipment connected, or the power grid has powered not only your house, but also nearby roads.

No, it's not.
New generator from pic1 uses 0.65L/hr and vanilla generator from pic2 uses 0.66L/hr.
Fuel usage of both generator is almost same.
There is a small difference between two generators, but I think that 0.01L/hr difference is rounding issue and is negligible considering the amount of fuel they have left.
