tractor fuel efficiency

I know that our  newer  Very High  HP tractors   can be ran at  reduced  
throttle and that has helped immensely  but our older tractors  needed the FULL 
throttle setting to get enough power to  get enough speed...  the old engines  
had to be ran  full throttle to  stop the slobber as well

the new  computer controls  control the amounts of raw fuel dumped into the 
cylinders a lot better than the old mechanical systems  so you dont have to run 
wide open  all the time...

SO I AM TOLD  BY THE  MANUFACTURers.......   :)  ok...   

I do know that  the old tractor burnt  9-10 gal an hour... the new one runs  
around 14 (when working hard)   but  we get more out of the new one...    

ok..
