The tests measured NMHC, NOx & CO, leading to this startling comparison:

Let's put that in perspective. To equal the hydrocarbon emissions of about a half-hour of yard work with this two-stroke leaf blower, you'd have to drive a Raptor for 3,887 miles, or the distance from Northern Texas to Anchorage, Alaska.

A quick bit of common sense: What are the capacities of the fuel tanks on these vehicles and leaf blowers? How many times will that “Raptor” tank be filled on that drive? How much fuel will be burned? How much CO₂ will be created? How much fuel will be burned during that "half-hour of hard work?”

Don’t get me wrong. First off, I hate leaf blowers (of all kinds.) Secondly, if I used a leaf blower (I don’t) it would be electric.
