Most peoples issues are due to babying the car during break in then going out at 1200 miles and suddenly flooring it to redline every gear even when the motor is cold.

I drove mine too cautiously for first 155 miles then as you did above for next 1100 miles (without the high speed runs). 1/2 of the oil gone. Seems as though initial miles are the important ones if you don't want the high oil consumption, at least during break in.
I'm back to driving gently most of the time, so will be interesting to see if the oil consumption reduces...
