gasoline mower

Fuel-powered grass cutter

A gasoline mower is a lawn mower powered by a small internal combustion engine running on gasoline, as opposed to electric or manual push mowers.

The term distinguishes it from battery-powered and corded alternatives: The gasoline mower is louder but handles thick grass better than my electric one.
