To your point I've been taking a lot of short low load trips recently and I added my 2nd quart of oil quicker than my first by a lot of miles. Just added about 3/4 of one last night. I will say I broke my car in harder than most have though I'd imagine. She seems to be doing just fine other than the accidental 5th gear lug I did the other day in a panic :doh:I still fully believe there's a correlation, just probably isn't statistically absolute. My car only drove on the track for about a 6 month window (14 track days) - no oil burn. But when I started to prep for moving and drove it around town a bit - started burning oil again. I know up in the PNW none of the track junkies seemed to be burning oil. Again, not saying it's a direct correlation, but it does seem like varied RPM under high loads minimizes oil burn.
