Condensation

Sprint's are not like BMW boxers, normally they do not drink oil.

4N, your useage would most likely be due to condensation in the oil from your shorter runs.

When you mostly do shortish trips without working an engine hard it is normal for some condensation to build up.
When you go for a decent distance run at higher speeds this gets burnt off and appears to be oil useage.
