Still shopping for my first bird. Curious as to how much oil usage is
considered "normal"?

My IO470N isn't down a pint after 25 hours and it's getting within
about 300 hours of reaching TBO.

OTOH the Cherokee 180 I used to fly managed 8 to 10 hours per quart on
the O-360 and that was considered good.
