If this is true, is it mostly on DFI engines? Has anyone made a correlation of DFI engines' increased fuel intrusion and oil consumption?

Its hard to say if this is normal because of the super low miles.

Your engine isn't really even broke in yet so I'd go with what the dealer says and see what is happening when you get to 2,000-3,000 miles . By then, you should see oil consumption that will be more indicative of what the oil consumption will be for the life of the engine.
