At full load inverter generators are really no more efficient in general. Where inverter generators shine is as the load is reduced from 100% down to some load significantly lower.

Look at Onan diesel comparison:


3200 Watt RV Diesel (standard non-Inverter)

.12 gallons / kWh at 100% or 3200 watts

.19 gallons / kWh at 50% or 1600 watts


6000 Watt RV Inverter Diesel

.12 gallons / kWh at 100% or 6000 watts

.13 gallons / kWh at 50% or 3000 watts


Notice the efficiency of the standard diesel generator drops significantly at 50% power, whereas inverter generator efficiency remains almost as high.
