That is STRANGE. As a general rule, newer cars should burn less oil than older cars. You could look on the internet for people with your same year and model of vehicle and see what they are saying about oil consumption. Also remember that stop traffic is hard on a car because idling is harder on a car than long distance driving. So, there are a lot of variables including drivers - some are fond of heavy accelerating from a stop light. Others slowly move up to the speed limit. So, driver individuality can affect oil burning.
