Consumer Description

I AM CONSUMING TO MUCH OIL. I DID NOT KNOW THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM TIL AFTER I BOUGHT CAR AND THE CHECK EMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T NOT SCREW MY GAS CAP ON TIGHT ENOUGH. THEN I WENT TO A LOCAL STORE TO HAVE THEM CHECK MY OIL AND THEY SAID I HAD NONE, AND CHECKED MY MILEAGE, THEY SAID I SHOULD HAVE HAD OIL IN THERE AT THE MILEAGE NUMBER IT WAS AT. SO I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR 3 TIMES TO DEALER THEY HAVE DONE OIL CONSUME TEST, AND WANT ME TO COME IN TO PERFORM A HIGHER PRICE OIL CHANGE FOR $90 TO SLOW OIL CONSUMER. THEY SAID I WAS NO LONGER IN WARRANTY TO FIX IT. BUT IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WHY IS IT THAT PURCHASERS MUST COME OUT OF THEIR POCKET IT SHOULD TAKEN CARE OF THROUGH DEALERSHIP. I AM ONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THIS. ALSO AT TIMES IT STALLS
