Baby the newborn right and you'll never burn oil?
I was reading the April Car and Driver article on the long term Evo, and the writer mentioned how Mitsu stated proper break-in would keep the engine from ever burning oil. The R&T guys stated they followed this advice and that after 40k mi they never witnessed an oil loss.
I thought this is interesting since I babied my S for a good while, and after 7k mi, I've never witnessed any oil drop even after vtech for extended driving. Just how long did you honestly baby your S, and what kind of oil loss do you witness?

~10 miles before VTEC with my ITR. < 200 before its first track day. It burned 1 quart of oil per 10 gallons of gas and averaged about 8MPG on the track. How is that for burning oil.
My first S2000 was vtec < 100 miles, no real oil issues.
