I know my car had burned a good deal of oil, but i never really calculated the consumption. I'm going through 6 quarts in a little over a thousand miles... that just seems completely absurd. i'm 75% sure there is no leak, i've never left spots where my car has been sitting overnight and i've inspected the engine bay as well.

Now for my question, is there any correlation between the rapid rate of burning oil and my gas mileage?
because each and every fill up i am getting less and less miles to a tank. (and yes i'm aware of fluctuating gas prices lol) its gone from about 150 a half tank to 80 oe 90 a half tank. I've checked my tire pressure and i got new plugs/wires/distributor last november. I am at a loss here.

Trying to sell a car that burns oil at the speed of gas is not ideal. but i'm pretty sure its my valve seals or piston rings and according to you guys its not worth it to fix, i just need a new engine. maybe this is my time to just keep it and drop a 4agze in there. who knows frown.gif
