That's 2.2 quarts of oil every 1200 miles an approximately 6.6 quarts between oil changes!!!
Toyota needs to recall a few more 2AR-FE vehicles from 2009-2012 for weak piston rings. Think about the environmental impact on all that burned oil.

Ridiculous Toyota acceptable oil burning rates on a 2011 Rav4
Toyota had recalls on many vehicles prior to 2010 for 'oil consumption,' aka oil burning. A reader passes along the picture below from their 2011 Rav-4. Comically Toyota points out two things: A) Both city driving (frequent acceleration and deceleration) and highway driving (high speeds) will increase oil burn. B) The acceptable rate of burn before you should see the dealer? 1.1 quarts per 600 miles!
