If your burning that much antifreeze you would have a white smoke from your exhaust. If it's not in your oil and your not smoking, than you could be leaking it.

Do a compression test. If you blow white smoke out the exhaust, this means you are burning coolant...which most likely means a blown headgasket. Otherwise, check everywhere for leaks.

sounds like a bad hg...compression test wont show you a blown heag gasket...id do a leak down test, with the rad. cap off and see if your pushing water.

If your blowing white smoke I'll bet headgasket. Your probably well over 150k and due for one anyway.

Another one for the head gasket... yours is really wasted if it's that bad.
