A quart over 5K is certainly nothing to worry about, but yes, if your car has even a slight tendency to consume oil, my own experience is that you will use more 0W-40 than other weights. I changed to 10W-40 Mobil 1 and saw a significant reduction (it's blended from from more viscous base stock). I'm now running 5W-50 and it's decreased even more, but I live in California and can run the higher viscosity stuff year round. Also, do not discount the effects of the type of driving you do. When I get out on the road on vacation I notice the higher speeds make for higher consumption. This is true of other makes besides Saab.
