First of all, 12 gph for 130 hp sounds to me like a lot of gas.  I can get
the fuel flow on my 270 hp engine down to 12 gph at around the same power
setting (60-65%).  You might want to double-check your engine gauges.

Secondly, turbocharging isn't a fair comparison (you as much said this),
since you get to enjoy full power operations at the higher altitudes where
true airspeed increases.
