My Pontiac Montana uses a ouart of oil every 200 miles. It has 50,000 miles and it does not smoke or drip any oil on the ground. Most of my miles are in town driving.

Hi there,

The oil must be leaking or is being burnt, it can't go anywhere else. Pull the spark plugs and check for any deposits on the electrodes this will indicate oil burning, with that amount of oil being used, it must be visible out the exhaust at some stage.
