I have a 2004 S-10 with 65000 on it. Since it had 30000 on it when I bought it, I have had to add a quart of oil every 1500 miles or so, about in the middle of every oil change. Is this normal for someone who does not tow anything hardly? This is with just every day normal driving conditions and by the way it does not leak oil.

Yes 1500 isn't bad. A dealer probably wouldn't do anything about it until it got down to 1 quart every 500 miles. You might try changing brands if you aren't satisfied. But that is nothing to worry about.
