I babied my car and I still got consumption.

I'm glad your engine is doing well, but if it were driving styles only, Nissan wouldn't have released a TSB pertaining to a specific vin range possibly experiencing issues.

That's usually related to either an identified defect in a part or the building process. My money would be on a part (valve seals, rings), but who knows for sure.
