how much oil does your Boxster use between oil changes?

My Boxster with 108,000 miles seems to me to be really good on oil consumption. For about 2500 miles the car used no oil at all. I checked the gauge on the dash, and the dipstick. And that is in commute traffic. Wife and I took the car out with the local PCA over the weekend where we put 600 miles on the car over a 3 day weekend. A lot of that weekend was "spirited' driving through the back country. In that weekend the Boxster consumed just about an 1/8th of a quart of oil.

I know oil change intervals here vary, I change mine at 4k. So would that be considered a normal amount of oil consumption? My Mustang drinks almost a full quart between oil changes and it has 26,000 miles. Where as my Sister's F150 uses almost 2 quarts between oil changes, but it has 160,000 miles on it.
