oil gets old... so fast

1995 v6 148000 miles.
My quality dino 20W50 oil lasts only 3500 miles then I notice the fuel economy falls a bit, maybe 5-10%. Then at 4000 miles, I can start to burn a bit of oil, like, smokes, if say I am in stop and go traffic for a couple hrs. The oil has degenerated I am sure. I change the oil, even flush it, and then I am golden:, runs great, 28+mpg hwy, 24 city, for awhile.
It's been this way for a year or more. I wonder if there's a weak pump, or pressure release value or clogged screen or something??. I don't know much about the oil system or how to test these things. My temp guage is perfect and the oil press light never comes on. I do hate it smoking. the worst time was the first time, since it was sudden and was especially billowing, and I thought I had blown the head gasket.
any thoughts appreciated,
cheers,
