I bought my '09 new. It consumed about 1.75 qts. between 5k OCI's for the first 10,000 miles. It seems to be settling down. I now have about 21,000 miles on it, last oil change was 5K miles on Redline 05W30 and used about 1.25 qts between changes. I keep a close eye on it and never let it drop more than 1/4 qt. below full. In fact I check the oil and the air pressure in the tires and inspect them for nails about every other weekend. Just an old habit that has served me well. I would hazard a guess that the VQ37 that burns less than a quart every 5,000 miles is the exception rather than the rule.
