As Lobux and JoeZ explained, heavy driving of any kind will cause higher oil consumption so expecting it would be prudent.
If you're concerned about excessive consumption, make a habit of checking regularly to chart the loss.

Yes, I plan to check more frequently. Wouldn't it be better to check in the morning in the garage so the oil has time to settle? I would think at the gas station after running the car, alot of oil would still be in the heads...
I'm overly concerned with oil ever since I had my 01 z06. The 01's have an oil consumption problem which ultimately led to me spinning a rod bearing and having to fork out for a whole new bottom end

I suggested the station if you've no other choice. Level is the important.

I check mine cold. If its a little low in operation because some of the oil is in the head, I'm not too worried about it. I'm a lot more concerned about it being too high and having the crank froth it into mousse. IME a little low makes more power from less windage.
