The break-in was per the owners manual and I do not drive the car hard, can't find any oil leaks. Any thoughts or suggestions? I have not been to the dealer to discuss this yet.

Thanks!
I'd certainly visit the dealer as your oil use is abnormally high.

It's also possible that your rings have not seated properly because you did not drive the car hard enough during break-in.
