gas-powered

Runs on petroleum

Gas-powered describes machines or vehicles that run on gasoline or natural gas rather than electricity, diesel, or other fuel sources: a gas-powered lawn mower, gas-powered generators.

The term often appears in contrast to electric alternatives: Should I get a gas-powered or electric leaf blower?
