oil consumption 95 90q V6



My father recently purchased a 1995 90q V6 to drive back and forth to work 
in (Keene, NH to Springfield, MA).  Kind of slow, but a nice highway car 
and very comfortable, especially at half the price of an A4.

The car has about 60k on it, and has been eating oil at a frightening rate. 
 He went through two quarts in 1000 miles, took it back to the dealer where 
he bought it (not an Audi dealer, but they like to pretend) and they 
supposedly cleaned up/checked up/replaced a few items in the crankcase 
ventilation system. Oil consumption is a little less, but still frightening 
at one quart to every 800-1000 miles.  And this is cruising the interstate 
at 70-80, not rally driving!

This can't be normal!  Any thoughts?  The dealer is trying to shrug it off 
now.  My father is having fantasies of driving through the showroom 
windows...

several XR4Ti's ...seems that keeping several of these around is cheaper 
than one Audi...  =)
