I don't drive my car often, but when I do, it's pretty hard. My oil always times-out (I use the oil life monitor), rather than from mileage or anything. After almost 5-years of ownership, I have less than 4K-miles on the car, so with that qualification, it's easy to see why I always time-out. He doesn't burn much oil, that can be verified on the dipstick, but my catchcan catches about 1-2 tablespoons every oil change (which usually runs from about 9-11 months on E85).

I, too, have experienced oil burning on LS-engines. It could be as much as a half-quart every 1500 miles in my '02 Z28. I DID notice it seemed to consume more after I installed a 4000-stall Yank TC in him.

All of these engines burn some oil.
