How gas powered leaf blower creates as much pollution in one hour as a car does driving over 1,100 miles. (EPA data)

I don’t understand how this is possible. The car engine is more efficient but the leaf blower would use a gallon or less of fuel that that amount of time as where the car would burn 30 to 40 times more that for the trip.

* A gas powered leaf blower has a different kind of engine that actually mixes the gasoline and the oil together.
* It ends up burning *both* the gas and oil.
* Car engines don’t (intentionally) burn oil.
* That’s the big difference.
