Oil consumption. When do I start worrying!?

Because my dealer tops off my oil just over the lower line, I usually need a quart every 500 miles or so. I think I can get around 1000 miles if I fill it to the top line. Dealer says it's normal, porsche shop near me says it's normal. No leaks under the pig at all either. I wish I only burned a quart every 2k miles.

I change my oil at 7.5k mi. but I've never used more than 1/4 qt. between changes. I always check the level before I change so I know what the consumption is. I too drive, as the Brits would say "making progress".

2006 C tt S... 47,904 miles and it burns NO oil at all. Nada. Zip.
Check the oil at every fuel up and the level never moves.
I should note that I change the oil and filter and crush washers every 4000 miles now... used to be every 3000 miles.
Never burned a drop. Never yet added oil between oil changes.
Knock on wood.
Oh, and I put the whip to her.
She likes it.

You never know what you're gonna get I guess!
My experience:
06 CTT 1 quart every 500-1000 miles
03 M3 doesn't burn oil
05 A6 3.2 1 quart every 2-3k miles
07 A4 2.0T didn't burn oil
01 CLK55 didn't burn oil
etc. etc.
