Fuel prices may be higher than in 1982, but by the quote below taken from a USDA report, you will be saving 41% in energy use by your modern farming methods! Always trust the goverment to put a positive spin on your life.

"Energy use grew during the 1960s and 1970s, peaking at 2.2 quadrillion BTUs in 1978.
High energy prices from the early 1970s and through 1982 led farmers to become more energy efficient... Many adopted conservation tillage
practices, shifted to larger machines, and adopted energy-saving methods of crop drying and irrigation. As a result, farmers reduced direct energy use by 41 percent from 1978 to
1998, while productivity grew sharply."
