So.. did you ever get this problem fixed? If so, what was the cause/solution ? Don't leave us hanging..

I've not burned any oil that I can tell (that dipstick is so hard to read!) in 2 tanks of gas, since the dealer did the reflash of the ECU three weeks ago.

I think my gas mileage has gone down though

I was averaging 33mpg city driving and the last 2 tanks were 30 mpg.
It is summertime and I'm idling a little more with the AC running, but I don't know if that makes it drop that much
