> I have just over 1100TT on my factory new TSIO 550B- two cylinders hovering at 60 and the rest in the mid 60s. Just put 12 hours on it last week (LOP 16.5 GPH 28 inch by 2370RPM) and burned barely a quart and it runs smoother and smoother year by year. Most flying FL190-230. Hoping to get another couple hundred before topping it.
