Hello,
That surely is an excessive amount of oil loss for such a short period of time.
Anytime the engine consumes this much oil it is either due to oil burning or leaking.
Typically when the engine burns oil you will get blue smoke out of the tail pipe.
Check out this article and it goes thru several scenarios, run thru this and let me know what you find:

No oil leakage and no smoke. There was a time the car did overheat and I had to change the gasket, but since then the car have started shorten oil but no smoke and no leakage.

For it to lose one liter every two days it has to either burn the oil or leak. Try running some oil dye, then drive as usual. See if you are able to find a elusive leak.

No leakage. I took it to mechanic to test drive and check if there is any leakage, he said no leakage.
