Default '07 owners-How's your oil consumption?

I just got 3,100 miles on the clock & she's used a half quart exactly. I figure that's normal for a brand new car in the break-in period. I assume that will go down the next 3k miles. Curious how much the other '07 owners are using. Sound off!

Mine is fine, which is bad. My oil level is exactly at the max line (I was aiming for in the middle o_O).

How'd you break your car in and what oil are you using?

My break in: I'd call it a medium break in... used decent amount of throttle and went to 5k-6k within the first 600 miles. Only hit 7.5k after 1200 miles, though.

My oil: Break-in oil til 1182 miles, now using Pennzoil 5w30.

I broke my car in per the nissan recommendations. The oil that's in the car now is whatever Nissan sticks in their Z's. I'm changing my oil for the first time this weekend & using Mobil 1

I just had my first oil change at 3K about a week ago. No problems. They're telling me to come in every 3750 miles which I find a bit odd, but whatever.
