Part of the variation you guys are seeing can be attributed to the way the cars are driven and, to some degree, the type and weight of oil that is used. Use one of these cars on a track, or blast down the autobahn for hours on end, and the oil consumption will be vastly higher than it would if you were poodling around town at 2,800 rpm, on the way to the coffee shop. Usage patterns will make a difference, too. Some of you make lots of short trips and some of you drive the car infrequently.
If your valve guides feel tight and you don't see any smoke after the engine first starts, I'd say quit worrying about oil consumption and be happy.
