Default Oil Usage

I recently purchased my 1st corvette .It is a 2001 and I have used almost a quart and a half of oil between changes ? I purchased the car in January and started driving it in April ...I use the car every day for my 80 mile commute ...I do not see it burning or dripping anywhere ...Any ideas, suggestu=ions would be greatly appreciated

I have an '01 that uses about 2 quarts between changes..

Not a biggie. I just carry an extra quart of mobile one around for when the message pops on my DIC.

I'd say get yourself a catch can though. Mine catches lots of oil that would otherwise be making it into the throttle body..
