          At high altitude, a stock Legacy with IO-550 should burn approximately 10.5 gallons/hour using "lean-of-peak" technique.    In this example, actual flight time was over four hours with 21 gallons remaining (66-gallon capacity).  Please see:   http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N767EM

Flight Aware shows 3 hours 50 min, not 3 hours 15 min.  That is a long way on 60 gallons..

If, as has been reported, the engine was new, I would think that it was still being broken in. This would lead me to thing that fuel flow would be on the high side; thus reducing range.
 
Just a thought.
