I had an A3 TFSI Quattro that never used any oil.
Mk5 Golf 2.0FSI likewise.
Our Octy diesel doesn't use any.
My R36 will use some oil when driven for extended periods at freeway speeds ie interstate but in city driving it doesn't.
Have known people with GTIs that were using 1L per 10k which I don't think is unreasonable. Beyond that thought I'd probably be a little concerned.
