Default Engine oil

My 92 civic hb burns 1L (Yes, one liter, as after I add 1L in, it's full) of engine oil when it runs 600km highway at 120kmph, the engine is running between 3k-3.2krpm. Is that normal? It doesn't burn oil at all running in city.

I'm using 92 supreme gas, 5W30 Mobil engine oil.

What else I can tell you guys?

Agreed, try a thicker oil. But it sounds like it may almost be time for new rings. How many KM are on the car?

I agree too,try a thicker oil(non-synthetic).If no improvement then you probably have a ring problem.Sounds like they're leaking at high RPM's,may be the beginning stages of failure.
