You get one hour of milage out of a quart of milk? And I've been paying big bucks for 93 unleaded.

1600 in my 997 since May 14th - loving every single mile! This is the best car I have ever owned. I was impressed with the Boxster, then I bought a 2003 996 and loved that but the 997 - this is the baby!

4700 miles now (5 months) and the oil indicator has not budged. I wonder if it's broken or if this is normal. I redline this thing almost every day I don't understand the lack of measurable oil consumption.

From previous experience and my new 997 I would expect a quart every 500 to 1000 miles. I would personally bring it to a dealer ASAP. Just my opinion.
