Reel Black What is the most fuel-efficient gas mower? Is there an emissions comparison chart somewhere on the web?
We've already had a reel mower and a cordless Black & Decker electric, but neither did the job. The reel mower always left blades of grass/weeds sticking up all over the yard. The electric barely cut our small yard on one charge the first year and didn't get through half of the front by year two or three. That being said, there is no way I can convince my husband to keep dropping money into $100 batteries, especially since we will be moving to a home with a bigger yard soon. So, are some gas mowers more fuel-efficient/cleaner than others? Is there a place to find such information? I am looking to spend $200-$400 tops. Thanks for any info!
Think of how much energy has to be made to power your electric mower.
Two years ago i bought the cheapest non powered gas mower for 165 bucks at sears. It works great.
I have wondered about the emissions, but i havent seen that info anywhere

Rated: NASynopsis: An entertaining and provocative look at Hollywood's depiction of Native Americans, Reel Injun journeys through a century of cinema to set the record straight. Traveling through the heartland of the U.S., to the Black Hills and Monument Valley, Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond examines how the myth of the movie ''Injun'' has influenced the world's understanding - and misunderstanding - of Natives. With clips from hundreds of classic and recent films, it is a remarkable feat of historical research, documenting the shift from nuanced silent-era heroes to the Western's ''Noble savage'' stereotype, leading up to the bourgeoning Native independent scene of Smoke Signals and The Fast Runner. Containing candid interviews with celebrated directors, writers, actors and activists, including Clint Eastwood (Million Dollar Baby), Robbie Robertson (The Last Waltz), Sacheen Littlefeather, John Trudell, and Russell Means, Reel Injun is an insightful and essential compendium for understanding the racial politics of Hollywood and the continuing artistic vibrancy of Native peoples.

Kadavu Black Marlin - New Fishery in Fiji?
Some time ago, Bite Me Gamefishing was contacted by Peter Mumford, a regular Australian East coast black marlin fisherman who was looking for the chance to explore new waters in search of his favourite species, the black marlin. Peter had landed a number of huge fish (including granders) on the world famous black marlin fishing grounds of Queensland Australia and was looking to find a new fishery.
Aboard Bite Me, we occasionally head well offshore and successfully target Blue Marlin on 80lb class bent butt chair tackle but looking for a grander black along Kadavu island's Great Astrolabe Barrier reef was going to be a whole new experience for us.
We know the big Blacks are here, I have personally seen a black in excess of 16ft swim right under the inshore game boat and resort divers have returned with stories of huge marlin herding them up against the reef...and photos to prove it.
One of my colleagues skippering the charterboat Wai Tadra tagged a black on the Kadavu seamount estimated by BlueWater magazine editor David Granville at 950lbs.
There is no doubt that large Black Marlin cruise the Astrolabe Reef but targeting and catching one was another matter. Peter's quest gave us the perfect opportunity to give it a serious try.
We didn't muck around. We flew in Glen Gardener, a friend and professional deckie from Sydney Australia who normally works the deck leadering marlin aboard the charterboat 'Bounty Hunter'.
Glen brought with him and extra 18" flying gaff and two of Bounty Hunter's 130lb chair rods.
We fished 'Cairns style' in that we spent the mornings catching and rigging bait, then moved to trolling big lures around lunch time. Lures such as MBT's 22"Buddha and Pakula's big Smokin Joe.
Early afternoon, the time we most expected a bite, we switched to just one skip-bait and one swimming bait on the 130s run off the riggers. Strike drag was set at 20kg but when run, the reels were left just in gear with the ratchet on and a large drop-back loop was pulled off the reel and dropped back in the wake.
We used shark mackerel (scad) and Narrow barred (spanish) mackerel as baits with the scad generally making the best swim baits.
All baits were gutted, stitched with waxed thread and rigged with a 130lb dacron bridle on the nose to a 16/0 Mustad 39960BL circle Demon hook. The hook was held securely away from the bait with a three inch piece of stiff tubing.
The Penn Internationals were spooled with 130lb Greenspot Dacron with a 200 yard mono top shot ending in a short plaited double and Yo-Zuri HD ball bearing snap swivel. The 600lb mono leader to hook was then attached to this.
Our prefered fishing grounds were just 10 minutes away, right in front of the resort. It didn't take long. At 12:55 the skip-bait on the left rigger was engulfed in a ball of spray as a billfish left a hole in the wake. Everybody sprang into action. Peter grabbed the howling outfit and made for the chair as the fish swam away with the circle hook rigged bait. When Peter was strapped in and ready, the drag was eased up, the circle hook lodged in the corner of the fish's jaw and 300 pounds of angry black marlin took to the air.
I have seen and fought many blue marlin but this was my first black and the differences were amazing. Blues eat hard and fast then pick a direction and go go go with no intention of ever stopping. If you do manage to stop one, they then often sound on you and it can turn into a slug-fest. Blacks are totally different and this fish fought like a typical black. It charged around, mostly on or just under the surface with no clear battle plan and put on a spectaculor show for the photographers. As acrobatic as a Pacific Sailfish and as strong as an angry bull she typified why so many anglers spend yearafter year fishing for black marlin. What an amazing fish.
It took us one hour and ten minutes to bring the leader to hand. We had her in close fairly quickly but she was so green and therefore a serious danger to the crew, that we eased off and took our time. At 320lbs she smashed the existing M-130 Fiji National Record and Peter decided to weigh the fish. The first ever documented Kadavu Great Astrolabe Reef black that I know of tipped the scales just shy of 320lbs. Hardly a grander but what a start !
It is our intention to take every opportunity to continue fishing for Kadavu island's Black marlin and to tag and release enough to paint a clear picture of their habits and seasons. Given the sightings by divers and our own experiences of huge Black marlin here, our aim is to find Fiji's first Grander.
Sometimes its fun being a charterboat skipper.....
