Well, Jacksonville is kinda flat but going through SC, NC, TENN, and KY to get to Cincinnati make bumps.

Of course I do not know if driving a lot more miles than I have driven my car will have a lot different result than I am seeing. I haven't added any oil yet because I plan on taking my car in to the dealership (after seeing GM customer service rep. post in another thread regarding them being willing to help us get our oil changes earlier than 20% oil life left because my dealership said no even though my car was bought in January). Of course, if I start driving my car more , I will add more Mobil one until I can get in into the dealership.
Seems the LT1 engine takes longer to get the cylinders to seal as many here report initial oil consumption. The engine is so powerful it is hard to pull a substantial amount of power for any period of time (speed climbs fast). Makes setting the rings difficult.
