2.8 L V6 oil consumption high?

[BOEING377 <BOEING377@aol.com>]

My 92 100S 2.8L V-6 (bought used at 7K miles, now at 80K miles) has always
used about a quart every 1000-1200  miles of freeway driving. No smoke, good
compression, same consumption with petro or synthetic oil.  Where is it going?
Valve guides?  Rings? Is this abnormally high? Whenver I run into another 92
100S at a gas station I ask the owner and 2 out of 4 complained about similar
oil consumption. I noticed an Audi Service Bulletin obviously written to
mollify complaints from customers, explaining that oil consumption isn't
unusual or even bad.  As one optimistic friend said "look at it this way...
you always have reasonably fresh oil in your engine". Comments?
