Anybody have this problem with their 5.0? I'm usually down a quart in roughly 3000 miles...does this sound excessive?

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

This is right in line with what I have seen from others, depending on how the car is driven you may see less or more oil consumption. I've seen reports of oil consumption on new cars with very low miles higher than you are experiancing fwiw
