Can you see where a quart of oil is going in 120 miles?
Never mind, this site can not accept a standard picture, what a shame! Does this say something about the lack of tecknology of Moparts?
At any rate, the exhaust is WHITE! Is this engine burning that much oil efficiently?

I would think that the tailpipes would be black ish from oil and or rich. I'd more suspect a leak (especially the quantity you are loseing) especially if the plugs look decent.

When you did the oil change, did you check the oil level on the stick after run up? Maybe it's a calibration issue. I feel using that much oil, you would be getting some tell tale blue smoke while driving.

Is this a Hemi motor?
The reason I ask is to see if you can pull the plugs and see if the plugs are shiny or dull on the insulator and ground strap work
If it is hemi motor and you don't have the spark plug seals sealed up it is hard to get them out without drowning them in oil whiney

So, you're saying that the insides of the tailpipes are whitish?
That wouldn't be oil usage, it'd be a very lean condition.
The old-school tailpipe-reading goes like this:
Too rich/unburned fuel = sooty black
Burning oil = damp black
Medium grey-tan = ideal
(Best checked after a run down the highway)
