Duh, that's something I didn't think of....

It never occurred to me that sustained high-speed driving doesn't necessarily mean an engine will consume oil! My '90 900 would've used at least 3/4 liter in the same situation. But, at over 180k miles, I'm sure the rings are not anywhere near prime condition. (I hope the soon-to-be 2nd A-Rx app on my '90 will finish cleaning the rings up!)
Our 9³'s never burned oil in the past, but we pushed it a little more than we normally do on this trip. The A/C was on at least 90% of the time, & with 60k miles, I guess I just expected to see some amount of oil consumption.
Thanks for replies confirming my experience, & sorry for the "misplaced" exuberance!
