If you're *CERTAIN* there are no leaks, then the only other culprit is that you're burning it. Which means valve guides and/or rings are shot, which means that unless you're mechanically inclined enough to do it on your own, it needs to go into the shop for an engine rebuild or swap.
thx alot.
Or do what my dad did.... he'd go to garages and ask for the old used oil, then filter it through cheesecloth and add it to the crankcase. I remember road trips where we stopped for oil more often than for gas.

The oil may be flowing up past the pistons and down past the valve stems into the combustion chambers, where it is being burned. If so, the exhaust will have a lot of blue-white bad-smelling smoke.
If there is no blue-white smoke, then there is a leak somewhere. If there is no oil puddle on the parking place, oil could be dripping out of engine seals under pressure during highway driving.
Good luck.
