A quart every 700-1000 is hardly "eating oil". When it gets down to a quart every 100-200, THEN it's eating oil.

Maintain the recommended oil change intervals.

A thousand miles of fuel costs costs about a hundred bucks. The quart of oil it consumes in that period is about equal to a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Hardly a big deal!
