Ever seen a 997 or 991 gt3? Those suckers drink oil, period. Like a quart every 1,500 miles, I saw it on a BRAND NEW 997, had like 4,300 miles broken in properly.

From: Illnoise. WAY downtown, jerky.

Ever seen a Honda Accord? Those mofos sip oil. Usually don't burn a drop.

What's your definition of being broken in properly? Subie forums for the most part do a hard break in so the rings set in, evo forum also lol.

My 01 eats a little. Switched over to pennzoil platinum and it hardly does it now. Different oils make a difference.

As in avoiding going over 4,000 rpm, constantly varying engine speed, no WOT, oil change at 1,500 miles. That sort of thing.
