I've seen guys report that their V10 idles with as little as .8 GPH, so it's not that much more than a larger generator may burn. In large part this happens because the V10 idles much slower than the 3600 RPM that some generators operate at.
So even if an idling V10 used twice as much fuel as a generator and therefore produced more carbon dioxide, it may very well produce less carbon monoxide. It's hard to say.
For this reason I've idled my V10 to cool the van a few times. I figure it can't be that different than a generator as far as safety goes.
