Have you thought about possibly running a slightly thicker weight of oil, like 5W50 Castrol Syntec? Your oil consumption problem is definately unusual... However, my ex-girlfriends 1989 Ranger used approx. 1 quart per 1,000 miles, but miraculously completley stopped using oil after switching over to Syntec. I know this sounds odd, but it is TRUE! Good Luck!!!
