Default Using Oil

How many of you out there have trucks that use (burn) Oil?
I am using the recommended 5w20 in my '09 5.7. I know it's on the thin side. I used a little over a pint in the last 3,000 miles. How does this stack up with the rest of you guys? Does ur trucks use less or more oil?
The last two Fords I had use a lot more than that.
I have had trucks that didn't use any.
Thanks,
Jack

a pint btw changes is going to be "normal" by most standards

Im at 10k and ran the last oil for 7k and never really burned any. Maybe your rings never seated properly during the break in period.
