Default 4.6L oil consumption poll

I posted this on LS1tech.com and am curious how the 4.6L goes. The LS1 has me kinda scared about its oil usage and I want to compare it to the 4.6L crowd, see if they use any too.

Also if your consuption seems low/high to you, post miles, I would love to see some 100K cars burning no oil

I think you need a catchier title to reel ppl in. Something like "topless mustang girls pics"

So far the percent breakdown is almost IDENTICAL to the LS1 oil consumption poll I took on LS1tech.com. Maybe LS1's just have a rep for it and the GT crowd keeps quiet...

No problems with burning oil for me (knock on wood). But LS1's notoriously burn oil.

As I said, the LS1's burn the same amount of oil so far as the 4.6l's in this poll according to the poll I took on LS1tech
