How does 1/4 gallon of gas mowing the yard put out as much pollution as 8 cars going 55 miles/hr? I heard today that 1hr mowing = 1 car trip of 200miles. When you figure how many gallons that makes compared to 1/4 gallon for the yard it doesn't compute physics-wise.
Fact: There is NO way to tell how many gallons of gas are spilled each year.....ever.

FACT: one hour of mowing is the equivalent of driving 350 miles in terms of volatile organic compounds.
Fact: One gas mower spews 87 lbs. of the greenhouse gas CO2, and 54 lbs. of other pollutants into the air every year.
Fact: Over 17 million gallons of gas are spilled each year refueling lawn and garden equipment more oil than was spilled by the Exxon Valdez.

You should tell us: where are you operating?
