Ahhh ok, 22 oz over 1,300 miles makes more sense to ask about. In that case you're still within what manufacturers consider within spec even on brand new cars, most say a quart every 1,000-1,500 miles is acceptable believe it or not... At any rate being an older engine I'd check seals and gaskets as already mentioned, if you're burning it you should see evidence on the spark plugs. If you have the 7A-FE they're notorious for stuck oil rings and consequently burning oil, sometimes doing a piston soak with Marvel Mystery Oil or the like helps free them up and can reduce or stop consumption.
