Personally I have not experienced this type oil consumption. I think the dip-stick is rather hard to get a good reading and not sure if I was down that much. I added less than a half a quart at about 1200 miles and had the oil changed at 3000. I have not had to add any since. I have 4200 miles and have owned the car since the first week of September. I do drive it frequently and get into it when ever I get a chance. I check my oil at every gas fill-up since I have heard others stating oil use. I don't think anyone has identified any particular problem or cause. The best thing to do is check it at every fill-up. Good luck!
