...was the engine totally warmed up, or cold? Were you idling for a while before punching it? Do you add oil, or are you down at all between changes? At first blush, assuming the engine was warmed up, figuring mileage and age, it's probably not oil burning, unless you or someone else somehow ran it dry like by forgetting to tighten a drain plug er sumpin'. I would go for bad combustion-- plugs or a bad o2 sensor maybe. How's the gas mileage? At the worst, you might have "done blowed a head gasket" as I once heard it so aptly termed by a long/greasy haired guy in front of me at the DMV. Try to duplicate the circumstances, and check the color of the exhaust. Also, how long the vapors take to dissipate. If they sort of hang around, and could get arrested for loitering, you got problems.
