I owned & operated an L2800DT for 76 hr before trading it in on an L3130. Average fuel consumption for the L2800DT was 0.60 gph primarily using the FEL and back blade & running @ 1600-1800 rpm. Didn't have enuf time with the 5' mower to get a meaningful gph; but would expect it to be in the 0.9-1.0 range.

FYI I have a much better data base on the L3130 with 225 hr. Overall average is 0.69 gph and ranges from 0.55 when plowing snow with the back blade to ~1.10 gph when mowing heavy grass with a 6' rough cut rotary mower. Typical consumption when moving dirt/rock with the FEL, pulling a 6' disk or a 5' S-tooth harrow is ~0.65 gph.
