My 2001 Chrysler Pt Cruiser has burned a quart of oil approximately every 900 miles of driving since it was new. It currently has 96,000 miles on it and still only gets 900 miles to a quart. The service manager at Chrysler told me that it would burn less as I drove it. It never did. As a retired mechanic, I can say I have never previously experienced this problem either directly or vicariously with a customers car that was purchased new. Thousands of other pt owners have had this exact same oil burning problem.
