Sent us this information from the Minnesota Environmental Initiative.
I'd like to know how they figure these things.
Yes, two-cycle is more polluting than four-stroke, and electric is
even better for your mother, but still, do they really think we're
gullible enough to fall for these "facts"?

MN:This works out to almost the entire population of the USA spilling
about 17 gallons apiece while filling their lawnmowers.  If I could
just be there with a bucket...   I use about 4 gallons all year, and
spill maybe 1/4 cup all year, if I'm careless.

There's more in the original post, but I won't keep rambling.
