Chris, A qt for 3K IS not a high oil consumption, actually very normal............

I've heard that high oil consumption (over a quart every 3k miles) is common on the 20-valve normally aspirated engines ('90-'91 coupe quattro, '91 90q); however, from other sources, the 20-valve turbo engines ('91 200q, later S4/S6) is not known for burning much (if any) oil. I'm pretty sure the valve guides, etc. are the same between the two engines (and probably other 5-cylinder engines); so what is the likely cause of the oil loss? Any comments?
