That's not the price of dyed farm diesel, is it? It's $2.59 right now in my part of New York. I think ULSD is over $4 at the pump though.
Fuel efficiency has a lot to do with how you're going to use the tractor most of the time. Some of the most efficient 70 horse diesel tractors run at around 17 horsepower hours per gallon when worked at 70 horsepower, but drop to 8 1/2 horsepower hours per gallon when only worked at 10 horse. So, in some uses, a smaller old gas tractor can do certain work cheaper than a larger modern diesel. That being said, some of the most fuel efficient older 60-70 horse tractors are (starting with the best from Nebraska Tests) - MF294, MF180, Case 1490, Kubota M7950, AC 6070, IH 686, David Brown 1210, David Brown 1200, Case 500,Case 870, Deere 2750, Ford 5600, Ford 5000, Ford 6610, etc.
