Where is the (lightweight) oil going?

Some high-dollar cars are using a quart every 1,200 miles; dealers say usage is within specs.

“Our latest car drinking oil is our $105,000 2012 Porsche Panamera, which is consuming a quart of 0W-40 motor oil about every 2,000 miles. With a 10,000 mile oil change interval, that's five quarts of synthetic oil (at about $8 per) in between oil changes.”
