Each weekend, about 54 million Americans mow their lawns, using 800 million gallons of gas per year

Does this make sense? I use about a gallon per summer mowing, and I've got a reasonably sized yard(not tiny). This would mean they are each using ~15x more fuel than I am.
I'll get an electric mower when it makes sense, but I'm not going to throw out a perfectly good mower. Gas leaf blowers, however, should be banned for noise alone.
