Where did you get those numbers? Lycoming says maximum allowable oil
consumption is almost .6 qts/hr:

The maximum allowable oil consumption limits for all Textron Lycoming aircraft
engines
can be determined by using the following formula:

..006 x BHP x 4/7.4 = Qt./Hr.

The O-360 in the 172RG I owned burned a quart every 7.5 hours from the day it
was broken in until the day I sold it seven years later. Some burn more, some
less, but a quart every 20-30 hours is quite low.
