A mower looks cheap at the pump because each fill is small, and the season total is the number that matters.
Turn mowing count, engine hours, fuel burn, and oil changes into a season cost and a cost per mowing.
Anyone budgeting for a petrol or diesel mower across a mowing season.
Use the source document or official route that applies to your situation. This guide does not contact another person or verify external information.
Count the mowings in your normal season. Use last year if you have no better record.
Time one full mowing, including the warm-up and the trim pass.
Use the fuel per hour from the manual, or divide one tank by the hours it lasts.
Count oil changes and the price of each. Small engines often need more than one a season.
The App shows fuel, oil, the total, and a cost per mowing.
Twenty-six mowings of 45 minutes is 19.5 engine hours. At 0.6 gallons an hour the season costs $56.95 including oil, or $2.19 a mowing.
Use your own source and details. The example is not a record about a real person or organization.
Two seasons with the same method. Both are examples.
Both cases are examples, not records about a real person. The bars show the same numbers the free App computes.
