Too many variables to calculate...need to know width of cut, horsepower, self propelled or push, side discharge or bagger, type of grass (thick or thin) flat or hilled area, etc.
If you really want to know for sure, empty the fuel tank, put in one cup of gas, then mow until the engine dies, calculate the area you mowed and multiply by 16. :smile:
I know by husband can mow our whole yard on a tank of gas and some the next time then he needs to fill it up. We don't have a huge lot, it is about an acre.

Push mower, self propelled, rider, garden tractor, compact utility tractor....???? I can cut four acres twice over with my JD 4210 without switching to reserve (10 gallon tank) and is anyone impressed? JEEZ.
Actually, on this type of equipment, fuel useage is usually done by gallons per hour. Push mowers usually have 1/4 - 1/2 gallon gas tanks. If the grass is not too thick, and the mower is tuned properly, you should be able to mow for at least 3/4 hour on a tank.
