Narrative:

I arrived at the [airport] area with about 900Lbs of fuel; 450 per side. As a precaution I asked the controller for priority due to low fuel. I have an old plane with analog gauges and although I've never had a fuel problem I didn't want to test the accuracy of the gauges.the approach controller was supportive and gave me good vectors for [the airport]. On the handoff to the tower I checked in with the tower and advised the controller on my low fuel situation and he cleared me to land number two following a twin on final.well within the FAF and doing about 135 kts; I hear the controller tell a cessna to turn base immediately for his touch and go; the cessna replied that he was landing. The controller tells me I'm number two. I didn't look exactly; but it seemed I was less than three miles and still fast.I told the controller again of my low fuel and that I would much rather not go around. The controller again told me I was number 2. By that time I'm confident that I was under 2 miles out. I told the controller to have the cessna go around. He insisted I was number two. I told him I was not going around. The cessna went around; and I landed. I was focused on the runway and never saw the cessna.upon landing I was greeted by ground safety equipment and I talked to a supervisor about it.I am always appreciative of advice or instruction and I would welcome an evaluation and learning of the actions.
