To get a feel for fuel usage a person can compare Nebraska tests #856 (706 Diesel) and #858 (706 Gas). The data might be surprising to some folks. The 706 Gas was actually the third most economical gasoline tractor ever tested at Nebraska in terms of hp-hrs/gallon when rated at maximum PTO/belt power. Its economy of 12.86 hp-hrs/gal is only slightly less than the diesel's economy of 13.15 hp-hrs/gal during the same test. Probably the single most useful fuel economy test they do is the varying power test where they vary the power output, measure fuel usage at each point, then average them together - this gives a good, all-around measure of fuel usage for a variety of tasks. In this test the 706 gas averaged 40.55 hp with a fuel usage of 4.085 gal/hr while the diesel version averaged 39.76 hp with a fuel usage of 3.610 gal/hr. Not as much difference as some might expect.
