The short answer is: There isnt any, at least no significant amount.

I almost expected some.

as temps go up and and so do pressures, often you can expect some consumption w/ aftermarket FI, but i guess I am lucky, in 5200 miles on SuperCharger ( admittedly nearly all hiway but includes a few races and many 100+ mph romps) maybe lost .25 qts, tops.

Redline 10w-40 and Mobil1 0w-40 previous fill then ( spring/winter)

Now Redline 15w-50 for high summer.

(Got a great deal on Redline otherwise woulda stuck with M1 probaly as the performance advantage of Redline over M1 is much much smaller than the (usual) price difference.

Update:

14,000 miles on forced induction still Zero consumption!
