Thinking of getting a flail mulcher to clear out 1-3 acres of scrubby overgrowth. How often will I be heading to the petrol station, can you clear out a decent amount of square feet off each full tank?

~1/2-3/4 gallon per hour depending on how hard you're pushing it. A 5 gallon gas can will easily get you through an entire day of real work.

Are these self-propelled? Otherwise fuck pushing that thing around in 3 acres of dirt

Two handle triggers, so probably one for the drive and one to engage the flail, just like a snowblower. But with more flailing.
