I think this has nothing to do with break-in. There is something leaking on your car.
We require synthetic oil, which does not burn like dino oil (fellow rotary engine owners can attest to that).

Either you're leaking somewhere, or it's going into your exhaust as residue. Get it checked out ASAP.
I have 50k on my Evo, all oil has been accounted for. I've used nothing but Mobil 1, and I broke my car in like a banshee....

200 miles/quart??!?!?!! My grandma's Olds Delta 88 doesn't even use that much...and it has blown rings

Get it checked out ASAP

I always let my car idle fully up to temp before driving... And I always let my car idle after driving it anywhere... That could be the answer.

This sucks... of all the things to be wrong with my car, it has to be internals... I swear my evo eats more oil than my 87 F150 used to.

Just make sure to keep it filled to the point where it should be... If it eats oil feed it more...
