Reports from the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory (NTTL) show improved fuel efficiency during the past 20 years.A 4.8% decrease in average annual specific volumetric fuel consumption for the data used in theASAE Standards was shown.Using fuel consumption and power data from the NTTL reports, new equations for fuel consumption were established thatpredict fuel consumption for diesel engines during full and partial loads and under conditions when engine speeds are reducedfrom full throttle.
