What a shock to pay $24 to fill up my lawn mower.


Costs me $20 to fill a five gallon can. My lawn tractor takes a
whole gallon for 2 lawn mowings. I have an acre lot.

I only have half an acre, but a gallon is good for maybe 25 mowings.
You must be doing something wrong.



Not necessarily. If there are a lot of trees to go around that will
take time. Also if the land is sloped, you have to go slower.



I know some kids who would mow a half acre for 5 ozs.
