Where Is The Oil Going??

Yes, I did follow the break in procedures. Not to the letter, but I did baby the car for a little bit. I have checked the oil when I got it back from the dealership, and it was full at that time. I check it every time (or every other time) I fill up. I generally don't downshift to get the braking effect, unless it is a very steep/long hill. I am going to call up Nissan and ask for an oil consumption test I guess..... I am sorry, but I do not see how a brand new car is burning 4 quarts of oil in less than 10,000 miles. I haven't tore up too many back roads this oil change, and it has really all been highway driving....
