...However, they probably won't take this seriously until the 1qt/1000 mile mark... Chances are your burn rate will reduce.

You need to do your own consumption test...Did you check it after the dealer oil change? Assuming it was up to the full mark may not be right. Lets say they shorted you a quart...You're then Adding one more between changes plus the second for the shortage. This would certainly not be out of line. Top it up, note the miles, and keep track. I'd bet your consumption will prove to be less than you think it is..
