Counter- intuitive answer because the consumption was labeled as 1
gallon per acre. More distance is traveled with a narrower plow to
cover the same acre (area).


Presumably a narrower plow will require less horsepower however, which
will equate to a lower gph burn rate.


Presumably, Yes.
But unprovable.
Time and speed are not known.
Actual force required is not known.

The only figure we have is fuel consumption at 1 gallon per acre.

That means:
2.42 gallons per mile with 20' plow;
3.64 gallons per mile with 30' plow.
