the oil consumption thing always has me scratching my head...
during "break in" i literally beat the **** out of the car, as i do daily... (drive it like i stole it and redline her 15-20x a day)... done this with 2 porsche's and havent burned a drop of oil...
so either im lucky, or abusing the car does it best.
i still however keep a quart in the trunk just incase as it fits... if you open where the air pump is a qt fits perfectly in the empty center section so thats it not even in the way or anything.

Just returned from my trip.
Absolutely great drive--didn't want it to end.
No oil usage at all in over 700 miles.
Found a great road just outside of Chicago (near Elgin)
with lots of tight and hilly curves.
I am in love with my 997.
I justed turned 6,000 miles going through Des Moines, IA
this afternoon.

Its really sad that $80k sports cars from one of the finest sports car producers on the planet seem to have an oil burning tendency.
