Plus, if you use a petrol mower chances are you have other petrol tools, and these invariably use 2-stroke engines. So unless you want to keep two cans sitting around you might as well put premium in everything.
My Honda Izy is a 4-stroke and Honda say all their petrol lawnmowers manufactured for the UK market since 1993 are fine on E10 petrol.
