My engine uses almost no oil (that I can tell....it leaks a little at the front of the valve gasket and also does some blow by into the air cleaner) so I account most lost oil to that....since in 3000 miles+ of driving per change the amount I add is maybe .3 to .5 quarts to keep it in the middle of the dipstick. I can still hit 30mpg on the freeway if I am gentle on the pedal and do 60-65mph.....even with my "blowby" which isn't all that much, the engine can move like a rocket, no lack of power whatsoever. Our 83 has virtually no blowby at all, even cold, you can take the oil cap off and nothing comes out!

However, mine still moves faster....
