    Piper Saratoga Turbo Lycoming TIO-540-SIAD excessive fuel burn

    Also it is summer here and 86-90 out. on take off I never achieve 100% power. usually only 94-96 percent. When I first started flying the plane I use to overboost and have to pull back a bit to maintain 100%. Is that typical of a hot day or do I need to have that adjusted ?

    Piper Saratoga Turbo Lycoming TIO-540-SIAD excessive fuel burn

    I was taught by my instructor to lean TIT to 1550. the CHT never get hotter than 375. I don't mind using more fuel to be gentle on the engine. but 5 GPH seems excessive.
