Your car should never burn that much oil with the number of miles on it. My wife put on 35-40k mikes per year selling real estate and I drove 30k miles per year commuting for each of the 30 years working. I changed oil on all of our cars and never had any burn off. If you are losing a quart every 1k, you would notice.
