I've only done about 4600 miles and expect the consumption to diminish after about 6,000 miles or so.
Recently, I've got into the habit of using "M1" (everything set for aggression!) for bits of the run home in the evening, just because of the way it sharpens everything up nicely even though I can't do any great speed on the roads leading out of central London. Just love the way the car sounds and feels as it takes off (from standstill or any rolling speed). This may not help with oil consumption, but IT'S WORTH IT!!

Just FYI: I am at 11K miles and am still using a litre of oil every 1500 miles approximately.
