I get about one hour per gallon on my F3080 with 72" rear discharge deck and about the same on my F2680e 72" side discharge deck. I wait till grass is high enough to mow before I mow and never bog down at any thing 6"s high or below and even higher if it isn't over the septic line. At wide open throttle mine will go thru 12" or higher with no issue except 12" over the septic lines will lower rpms.
You may have to call around to find one and understand some dealers don't want to lose the transportation costs to get it from another dealer. Kubota owns the new ones, usually not the dealers so cost for the machine is the same for all dealers but a dealer getting one from another dealer has to pay to go get it. The old telephone ad of "Let your fingers do the walking" may apply. Dealers can look for inventory on their computers but not sure how wide their search will cover. States broken down into Kubota regions with warehouses in/for different regions.
I tried TailDragons traded in Z at Barlows lot and wasn't for me since I don't mow real often (shorter grass) and therefore bought my previously trade in F2680e back from Barlows a year later.
