Default oil consumption

i know a small amount of oil consumption is normal. but how much is normal for a 5.0. mine goes through about 1 quart every 2 to 3 months. what about your guys 5.0's, how much?

I don't loose any that I can tell. I've been at school and havn't been able to do and oil change so I am like 1k over and havn't added any. If you've got high miles then that's just wear, probably burning some/most of it if you don't seen any real visable leaks. If you're not leaking you could try some stop smoke.
