8. Facts about Fuels  Diesel tractors will consume about 73% as much fuel as a gasoline engine (ASAE Standard)  LP gas tractors will consume about 120% as much fuel as a gasoline engine (ASAE Standard)

9. Summary  With new technologies, the producible hp is growing at an incredible rate.  This allows more hp at lower engine rpm, which reduces fuel consumption  Due to increasing engine and transmission efficiencies, overall field efficiency can be increased

10. Advancements  New precision techniques;  Electronic Fuel Injection  GPS  AccuDepth  These advancements allow for better overall field efficiency, along with numerous cost savings to the producer.
