Mine hasn't between 3k mile changes.. at least not an amount that I can tell, if it does.
Think the owner's manual says you should check fluid levels and tire pressure every time you fill the gas tank.
Not sure, but I'm guessing it doesn't if the oil level is low, but still within the maximum and minimum range. The check engine light will probably come on when your oil is really low and other things start breaking, lol.

I used to burn 1/4 qrt in my WRXs and MS3 every 2500-3000 miles and it got me paranoid to check the oil with almost every gas fill up. I friend of mine has an 08 STI with 12k miles that drinks at least an entire qrt every 2-3k miles and he thinks that's normal. I think he's going to assplode the piston rings in the near future. With my X I feel almost silly checking it that often.

Every Honda I've owned in the past burned oil. Hondas cbr does the same and the dealership says it's normal. As far as I'm concerned thats not normal. Never had that issue with German cars and I haven't to date with the X.

I owned a 94 Civic Si and 94 delsol VTEC (B16A) and they both burned oil. Not lots but you would have to add a liter between oil changes. Seems to be pretty standard with any VTEC engine.
