Well, according to the info in This post, Nissan's standard for excessive consumption anything beyond somewhere in the vicinity of a quart per 5,000 miles. I'm not sure if that chart is accurate (I haven't gone and measured mine, but 30mm from high to low sounds too long for what I see on the dipstick? Then again I'm horrible at small-scale metric estimations).

In any case, a quart per 1,000 is definitely excessive consumption. There's been a TSB on this for ages, and Nissan replaces the short block after documenting the excessive consumption. It's definitely not "normal". Normal is being about a quart low (or less) after regular street driving for say a 5K-ish interval.
