What was the very worst gas hog, among bigtractors?

Posted by JD70Jim on February 09, 2002 at 16:36:51 from (64.197.39.170):

You hear a lot of concern expressed here on this board, and others, about the low fuel efficiency and high operating costs associated with Gasoline engined tractors. Obviously, the bigger engines should burn more fuel and cost more to operate than smaller ones. Some tractors werenever offered in anything BUT diesel for just this reason (5010/5020 JD, 1206 IHC for example) There were some quite big tractor engines which were Gasoline fueled, however. Minneapolis Moline built a gasoline G1000 for example---the biggest (110hp, 504cid) that I know of. Anybody else got a nominee for alltime worst GAS hog?

(Over 400cid, 90+hp gasoline powered tractor?)
