.75 every 3k miles. There is nothing wrong with your car.

There is definitely nothing wrong.

Take it in to a dealer. I'm sure they can find something wrong.

u should be changing it every 3000 miles so u shouldn't worry

You are good to go, but make sure you keep an eye on it to see if it gets worse.

Pretty much normal for this engine. I use about 1/4 to 1/2 qt at the 1750 mile mark and this is fine.

One suggestion: check often (like every 1000 miles or so, stone cold engine - in the morning) and refill to above the half-way mark when it has dropped below the half-way mark. If you trust your engine, then check at the mid-change mile time like I do.
