glad I'm not the only one that's done that. I had to add 3+ quarts to my 95 two weeks ago.

A quart and a half in 1700000 miles, not too shabby.
Seriously, thats not too unusual. Maybe a little more than normal. Check your intake manifold. I bet there is a nice little pool of oil waiting for you in there.
