Pretty much the worst day ever...

[VX KAT]

Sue, I just took my VX to Wisconsin and back this summer (and took a detour through Michigan for the Borbets) and burned about 2-3 quarts on the complete round trip. I was at about 55K-ish at that time though. I believe the trip was around 3K miles give or take, so I would probably plan on taking 5 quarts, since you could always buy more on the trip if you need.

Thanks Mav, that's a real good example/estimate. Is highway driving the only time yours consumes oil?

Can't say for sure, 90% or more of my miles are highway so I don't really have the ability to compare. But I do get the sense that the longer the engine is running (e.g. 12 hour days on the way to Wisconsin) the more oil I lose. Not an earth-shattering conclusion I know.
