"I think if you drive in grandma mode( comfort) your oil consumption will be reasonable. If you drive the car like it is supposedly designed for, it DRINKS oil."

Actually my service rep said to drive harder, driving soft is what he thinks increases consumption.

I do think a too soft break-in can compound the problem, I am a second owner and based on the prior owner's age and location, I suspect he babied the car.
