How much oil does everyone burn/consume?

Everyone knows about the oil consumption engine warranty issue, but for us who burn smaller amounts and dont qualify for warranty fix, Id like to know how much oil everyone is adding between changes? I generally add about one qt every 3500 miles and i never let it get below 1/2 qt low. Yes i searched. And yes i use synthetic!

Consume....NOT!

Zero between oil changes and I use Red Line 10W/30 and K&N oil filters.
