It is quite likely that on delivery the oil was not topped up to the max mark on the dip stick (mine certainly wasn't), so you may be able to discount some of that added oil - but only 1 litre maximum which still gives you a consumption of 2.5l in 5000mles, i.e. 0.5l per 1000 miles.
This still seems quite high - someone has already mentioned the manual says it can be 0.3l/1000 miles.
In my 2001TiD, I initially put in about 1 litre at 3000 miles, had a full change on the 6000 miles service, added 1/2 at 9000, then another half at about 15000. Car's shortly due its 18000 service, and I checked the oil just now and it's hardly gone down at all - so my oil consumption has certainly got less as the engine has bedded in.
