So I guess you are claiming that the Nebraska Test Institute fabricated their test results and Oliver never got the world's record for fuel efficiency in a gas tractor?
I admit I do not own a test lab, or an Oliver 1800 gasser. I DO believe the test results. The Oliver gas tractor run at the max of 74 horsepower used 5.6 gallons of gas per hour (if you believe those lying b*stards at the Nebraska Test place).

The Deere 3020 diesel making 64 horsepower used 5.1 gallons of diesel fuel per hour. Making 29 horsepower it used 3 gallons of diesel per hour.
