A "push mower"......what's THAT?! 
LOL, I guess I'm one of those kids in the neighborhood.  Seriously though, that is a good idea. Any way to save money on gas is a good thing.

Gosh, I haven't seen a push mower in action for years! When I was in the Boy Scouts, my troop had one.
A push mower is a manual mower (ie no motor) with the blades arranged in a sort of a circle.
Kind of operates on a similar design to a cheese grater, but with straight blades across rather than with holes.
When you have tall grass, it can be much more effective than a regular mower, but either way, it's a lot of work! Hey, with gas prices like they are... Maybe I need to find one
