Gasoline usage

Every weekend in the United States, fifty-four million Americans mow their lawns, which uses eight-hundred million gallons of gas per year. The average car uses 500 gallons per year so this is the equivalent of 1.6 million cars. In addition 235 trillion gallons of water are used each year to keep the grass growing. Next through in all the fertilizers and herbicides. Other motorized amusements require a fairly staggering 2.2 billion gallons of gasoline, with jet skis and pleasure boats combined accounting for 1.4 billion gallons; ATVs 594 million gallons; snowmobiles 188.5 million gallons; and dirt bikes 87 million gallons. This is the same as 4.4 million cars.
