Yes, many of the gas leaf blowers use regular automotive gasoline, with a 50:1 mixture of oil added to the gasoline.

They do have electric leaf blowers, but those offer minutes of runtime instead of hours. So those might be suitable for a homeowner, but aren't very practical for professional lawn care use.

This confused me for a second, as the electric leaf blowers that came to my mind have 'infinite' runtime. I then realized you're referring to cordless electric leaf blowers.

I know they (the blowers) exist - I meant I wish they (the specific people operating beneath my window) would use them.
