I'm betting that you're fine. First unless you've verified your gauge accur=
acy, =C2=A0it could be off in either direction. so you really might not eve=
n know what it really runs. Second, my car exhibits the exact same thing th=
at you describe. Mine was rebuilt 16 years ago. I just pulled the engine ap=
art to check it, and all bearings are still with say 10 to 15% of the tight=
er end of their service range. My advice is unless you have other issues wi=
th the engine, relax and drive it.=C2=A0

Stephen I get about same as you on an old, tired engine with somewhere north of 100k miles.  Still runs fine.  Leaks a bit of oil as all do.  Burns a little too.

Slightly less than 20 for me.
