Quart of oil every 700 miles

[StrayKatJJL]

I have followed a number of post regarding excessive oil consumption but believe I may using more then others with similar posts. This isn't a pcv issue which signifies engine repair as my next step. The vehicle has been very well maintained, and runs great. 180,000 miles now. Can someone give me a ball park cost for doing what needs to be done to eliminate this issue. Is it crazy to just keep putting a quart of oil in every 800 miles ? It doesn't smoke and so there isn't any other problem that I am aware of. Thanks John

Are you trying to determine the actual problem? or are you just wanting to scatter shot solve it.
if the latter, full rebuild.
are you sure it's not leaking from someplace?

A compression test would be a good start.
