Depends on how big your garden is and how often you want to cut.
Hallelujah. And the clippings go straight into the compost pile. We had 1/4 (about 50sqft) for the garden.. realized I could mow less with more garden so I added another 20sqft to it. Reconnoitering this year and I'm considering adding another 20sqft; this would use up most areas in the back that are not directly under shadow from the pine tree or in the floodplain.
To OPs question: gas. When we get a bigger pad with a bigger yard, we are also considering solar-powered robotic for upkeep/maintenance
I put in a small orchard last year expanding a 12x4 garden spot for herbs to near 1/4 acre fenced. I have a little over an acre around the house, rest of the 5 are woods. I mow maybe 3x in summer before the heat starts killing everything. Weed whacking is more frequent. We have two mowers both gas. Once is a riding mower and the other to trim.
