First off the Oil Temps are normal. Sucks to say but its the way the car is and you should invest in an Oil Cooler. I use to run about 220-240 on normal drving. After the oil cooler I barely get over 180 even on 90+ days. Once I start to pust that right pedal down more and more the temps rise. Even on the Dragon in NC I only hit about 220-235. Now for the oil consumption, you might have to have the motor replaced by a Nissan dealer. Let Nissan do there test and they will let ya know if it needs to be done. I have to add a little oil here and there but not much. Now the feeling of a "prius towing a trailer" you get is because of the high oil temps. When the temps get high the computer cuts timing, I still get it from time to time. If I'm drving around in traffic for a while on a very hot and humid day the car almost goes into to like economy mode and forgets its a sports car. I get a really bad hesation (not in the engine its like in the gas pedal) but after a little of normal drving the car goes back to its normal fast self.
