You might want to check your tachometer, to make sure you aren't churning away to excess. And the prop pitch (never mind what it says, have it measured). I'm a very pessimistic person, and flight plan for 7. In fact I nearly always get better than 6. And that's down low. That's leaned to 1450F EGT. Cruise RPM is around 2500, and that renders around 105-110 TAS. I've seen as low as 4.5 GPH at 9500 feet.
