I was at the dealership yesterday and they still telling me that's normal. The best question from them: are you driving a lot or sometimes fast? because that could cause higher oil consumption. Are they kidding me????
But the comment from the service manager really killed me: "I have good news, your car qualifies to add 1qt more oil than usual, means instead of 1qt they could add 2qt."
They added 1qt of oil around noon time (with 7081 miles) and it was at the maximum, in the evening I checked again and it was a little lower than maximum already (with 7135 miles).
no idea what to do now, but this is really unacceptable.
Do you think it makes sense to go to another dealership/service center?

Investigation of Oil Consumption Issues should begin with the CCV / Intake system. Oil in the intake should not be considered normal and reduced to as minimal amount as possible.
This was taken from a recent article, as it also relates to the BMW owners oil consumption issue;
PVC-INTEGRATED ROCKER COVERS
One of the most distinctive features of the new LS1 Corvette engine is it's domed valve covers, which house the patent-pending, integrated positive crankcase ventilation system designed to enhance oil economy and oil life, while reducing oil consumption and contributing to lower emissions. The valve covers also hold the individual direct mount coil packs. Between the coil packs, the domed sections of the covers contain baffles that separate oil and air from of the crankcase gases - about 3 times the oil/air separation capability of previous engines.
