This is why it's so important to regularly check your oil levels with this car. I believe a lot of people don't realize how much oil they consume.
I check mine regularly and add a half quart if the oil level is at or below the mid way/50% point on the dipstick.

It's the verbiage in the service manual that really caught my eye though. It's worded poorly but sort of makes it sound like you should expect it to burn 1qt/2000mi as if that is normal. What is odd is the service manual doesn't even specify what they consider to be max consumption.
