Do you need high water pressure to use a gas powered pressure washer?

No. Typically a gas pressure washer will use less water volume than if you turned your garden hose on full blast. The pressure washer does not depend upon water pressure, but it does need decent volume so be sure to turn your hose faucet to full open once connected.
Normal house line pressure of 45-50gpm should work for most residential size pressure washers.
A simple test would be to track the time it takes for your garden hose to fill a 2 gallon pail when opened fully vs the same time it would take to fill the bucket with your pressure washer. OK, maybe that second test is not so easy as the pressure will keep knocking the bucket over. Be safe now.

How to Select a Pressure Washer?
High pressure water, delivered using a mechanical device known as a pressure washer is an effective method of removing mold, grime, dust, mud, and dirt from surfaces. Since they use only high pressure water and no chemicals, pressure washing is an environmentally safe method of cleaning. Residential users will generally choose between an electric powered and a gas powered pressure washer. While both are effective, the gas powered model delivers more water power, allowing the user to complete his task more expediently. The electric powered washer will work well for small areas and they are less expensive than a gas powered model. The electric model would be primarily used for cleaning smaller areas and for items such as lawn furniture and grills. When opting for an electric powered pressure washer, the larger the motor, the more pressure will be delivered, and usually the larger motor will have a longer lifespan. Electric powered washers come with either a universal motor or an induction motor. Small, hand carried pressure washers typically have a universal motor. They will work well for small jobs, or may be ideal for occasional usage. Induction motors will be found in larger electric pressure washers. The induction motor drives up the cost of the pressure washer, but these motors will last longer than the universal variety. For more power and faster cleaning, the gas powered model will provide optimum results. They are ideal for cleaning larger surfaces, including patio decks, driveways, and home exteriors. Prices for gas powered washers start at around $300 for a consumer grade model. These models perform well for most residential users. A step above is the prosumer-grade washer. Prosumer models are a cross between the residential pump and the professional pump. They deliver more pressure per square inch and are constructed of higher grade materials than the residential model. Prosumer pumps work efficiently and rapidly, substantially reducing cleaning time. Prosumer-grade pumps are more expensive, generally costing around $900, but will last the consumer for many years. Professional models are also available, but models of this type are not necessary for most home usage.
