Little oil rig

I TRAVEL 800-900km a week in my 2005 Golf 2.0 FSi. I have to top up the oil with about a litre every 8500km. The dealer assures me this is normal. What do you think?

VW'S technical people say your usage is within expected range. VW engines have a reputation for using some oil, so it's a good idea to check the oil regularly.
