My Legacy has a= TSIO-550, so I am really not up to speed on what fuel usage would be at 10= ,000=92, doing an engine break-in rich of peak; but I suspect that that his= actual range (tanks dry), under the listed parameters is his actual impact= point.

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.
