Default Oil consumption/engine problem

I have a 2000 honda civic si, the problem is that it burns a **** load of oil, i have to put in a quart every week, and thats including that i drive under 4000 rpm but i do travel like close to 200 miles a week, but that is still too much oil being burned, etc. First i thought it might be the rings, I did a compression test and it came out to 210, 180, 210, 210, thats why i thought it might be rings, but i did a wet test on two of them and they both went up by 30, so its like 240, 210, etc. They all went up by 30 so im wondering if its the rings, any ideas? I dont want to spend money machining the block if its not needed.
