I think a quart every 3000 or so is normal, especially if you run it hard. i.e. vtec-ing a lot. If the car's not using any oil what so ever, then oil's probably not getting to places that it's supposed to.
Also bear in mind oil consumption will also be based on viscosity of the oil your using. My car use to go through 5W-30 a lot more than 10W-30 (which is what I'm using now)

i'm at 8k miles and i had to add half qt. i guess my miles haven't caught up to you all yet. from what i hear at the shops, this is totally normal. keep a qt (in a bag!!!) in the trunk! =)
