Since many cars can and do, I'd say a 1/2 to 1 quart at the most every 6000 miles is reasonable, which is about what mine does, anything more I would call "should be better". But, unless it gets progressivley worse, the best thing to do is just top it up. I ran a Camaro SS that drank a quart every 3k miles, for 120k miles. It never changed. It ran fabulous. But, when I bought it at 15k miles and ran dino oil, it used 3X more oil. I switched to M1 and oil use went down dramatically. I would say try different oils if you have a lot of oil use.
