Is there a consensus re acceptable oil level to minimize venting through the breather yet maintain a safe margin in the engine?
I'm curious, have no experience to go on. What is a "normal" hourly oil consumption rate at say half way to OH time? One qt every 5 hours, every 10 hours?

The normal/acceptable oil consumption rate is below 5 Hours per quart to upwards of 20.
With that formula, would you run out of gas or oil first
That is my experience and this is what I do...I asked my engine builder years ago, his response- let the oil go down until it stops losing oil. 6qts is were it stops and loses very little below that mark. I have added more (7qts) on new changes and it keeps the same temps and throws it out most oil quickly than stabilizes at 6.
My temps are 200F +/- 10F at 6 qts in warmer climates
