How much oil does your Prelude burn?

I'm about 700 miles into an oil change and added a 1/2 quart to the 'Lude yesterday. I've hit the hot cam a few times since the change, but for the most part have taken it easy. Is this normal oil consumption?

Search and you shall find. When I first got my used '97 Prelude I was scared ****less that I bought a lemon. But once I searched on this forum, I felt a lot better. Anyways, just for your information I burn about 3/4 of a quart per 1,000 miles.
