This article seems to verify what has been said about the "break-in" (or
lack thereof) of the VW 2.0 I-4 and VW 2.8 V6.  These engines are notorious
for oil consumption.  And the long standing theory is its due to the owners
"driving like an old lady" from day one.  Instead of running them hard, as
they should be, as if they were being driven on the Autobahn.
