If you drive an automatic and never engine brake, you will never see it. It is only if you engine brake. I tested during the 14060 - 14526 mi mark that used 0.75 QT in ~500 miles with tons of engine braking and watch the consumption level skyrocket.
I have a 2014 manual with backup camera so only the 170 hp 2.5L H4 was available.
It is a widely discussed issue, even at consumer report
