My car used 3 qts of oil 2 weeks ago. It was over a 7 day span. Yesterday I drove 140 miles each way (approx 300 total) and didnt have to add any oil at all.
Why would this happen?

I would say it must be leaking somewhere. Do a compression test (test rings), check for smoke when first starting (valve seals), and check for any obvious leaks.

oil could be burning from high rpm driving, and not really be burning when high way driving
