well in 'merica, we like to show off our lawns to the neighbors, because penis size is clearly proportional to how large our property is.

Let me see if I have the facts straight here.

You are getting a $300k house and are worried about a lawnmower that is going to cost 1/5 of your monthly mortgage? Hey cheap ass, why don't you buy a scythe.

The national average lawn size is about one-fifth of an acre for the 85 million households with a private lawn


An acre = 43,560 square feet, or 208 a foot square. 1/5 of that = 8712 square feet, or a 93 foot square. for you meter users, thats roughly a 28 meter square.

lets assume 2 gallons to mow that amount, because you are a fat american so you have a non-efficient riding mower but you are also a vain american who mows their lawn twice so you neighbors think you are a credit to neighborhood. lets assume you mow your yard weekly from april to october, 7 months. thats about 30 weeks, or 60 gallons.

60 gallons per 85 million lawns = 5.1 billion gallons of gas for americans to mow their yard. averaged per day that is ~ 14 million gallons/day

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/fuel-efficie...n/gas-price.htm
Quote
The United States consumes about 20 million barrels of oil products per day (bbl/d)...Of that, almost half is used for motor gasoline...Each barrel of oil contains 42 gallons (159 L), which yields 19 to 20 gallons (75 L) of gasoline. So, in the United States, something like 178 million gallons of gasoline is consumed every day.


14 million/178 million = 7%. and i think we can both agree that either a: clearly everyone is mowing their yard weekly for 30 weeks, and b: there is no way it takes 2 gallons to mow a 90 foot square. besides, we have mexicans mow our yards, and those fuckers basically run while working. they know the price to stay in america.

its clearly something to ignore, but its also clearly putting a dent in the worlds fuel price as opec controls 40% of that shit, they raise and drop their output to control prices.

fuck you euro.

You are getting a $300k house and are worried about a lawnmower that is going to cost 1/5 of your monthly mortgage? Hey cheap ass, why don't you buy a scythe.
