A lot of writing and I can't figure out if there is a question or some sort of complaint in the OP's post.
Yes, lawnmowers are dirty compared to cars. And old school, carbed engine with zero emissions controls (other than preset idle screws etc) versus cars that have electronic fuel injection and catalytic converters. Are we surprised the old school engines pollute more?
The old lawn boy may use less gas, but I'd love to see the emissions numbers. Just using less gas isn't the whole story...
And what pollutant are we comparing? Hydrocarbons? Carbon Dioxide? What Car are we comparing to?
