it looks like the tv6070 burns about 4 gpa this might be a little off because the hour meter doesn't read in tenths of an hour and there was a little idleing time. Blowerman what do you figure yours burns an hour running a blower?
We burn in the 3.5 to 4 gpa. Just depends on the rpm's the machine is running at.
The harder expense is the change in the price of fuel this winter.
 
I had a feeling this was for an airport. My dealership I work at sold a John Deere 6330 to our county airport for snow removal. They were going to attach it to a big de-icer sprayer.

Thanks Bubba,
So this was estimated while plowing the snow or blowing. I know you had said you had been mostly plowing it, so I just wanted to check.

Double the fuel useage is considerable. Not a deal breaker, but something to consider.
this was mostly plowing with about half an hour of blowing
