possibly a bad head gasket... that would be my first thought... pull the plugs if they look extremely clean then you are probably burning coolant

when you thermostat is at normal driving condition pop the hood and feel oth hoses if they arent the same temp,and about as full in both hoses then your water pump might be going out

also check the oil...if its really high off the top mark....your "missing" coolant is laying in the bottom of your oil pain....in turn meaning...bad head gasket
