Zee Germans are topping the charts again.

According to data from Consumer Reports’ 2014 Annual Auto Survey of owners of 498,900 vehicles from 2010 to 2014 model years, these 30 models have much higher rates of oil consumption overall than the average for their model years.
Then again, their stats methodology is very broad. They're looking at % of vehicles that needed a quart or more top up between oil changes. The Germans typically have longer oil change intervals (10K miles or so). Needing a quart of oil in 10K miles maybe isn't great, but I wouldn't necessarily call it excessive either.
