Burning Oil

Hello!
I bought a 1999 911 cab about a year ago and am still learning what Porsche is all about.

I was wondering if you have to add oil more than any other cars? Not too many miles ago I just had my oil changed and there is no sign of leaking. I did notice the computer showing me that it is needing some more oil.

Is this the norm?

Thanks and by the way, nice site. I'm glad I joined!
