    > “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.”

    This is an incredible comparison. However, there are significantly more vehicles on the road than individuals blowing leaves for two hours a day regularly.
