Oil smoke tends to be blue. Sure it's not just Co2 your seeing?
100% white could be co2 I've really used the car the last 300m and its used 50% of the screen gauge in 300 miles so now I'm paranoid . I did have it on a Track for a run last week where it had a stretch of the legs top end which may have contributed to this.

That's some serious oil consumption. I'd be checking the oil filler cap for "mayo"...Probably not, but with you mentioning white smoke I'd be concerned over the head gaskets.

All very clean around the filler . Car has 23'000 and nearly half its manufacturers warranty on there so I'm not concerned just yet, oil consumption is defitinally High, when they realise this I'm wondering what they do as there's nothing wrong with the car or its performance etc.
