Default Oil consumption

I've changed my engine oil at 6months/3000 miles in my 1999 S with 69000 miles. I'm using Shell Helix 5w30. During this time I checked the oil level (very)regularly but did not have to top up once. I think that is mainly due to the traffic/roads here in the UK. Using the VTEC takes some planning, so it doesn't happen too often on each trip.

Whats your cars mileage?
How often do you top up?
What oil are you using?

My car only consumes oil at the track.

Not much point in polling others. You might want to specifically poll other early AP1 owners.
