Default Head skim and new gasket - delighted but confused?

Hi Everybody.

Happy New Year!

Well, the 940 is running like a dream since the head skim and new head gasket but I am confused about something? Oil and water never mixed, the leak was from the coolant to the outside, the least bad way for the hg to fail. What I am confused about is that she has always used a lot of oil yet since picking her up from the garage on 25 November 2021 I haven't had to top up the oil once? I normally top up the oil weekly or fortnightly and my oil bill used to be high. The garage can think of no reason why my oil usage has dropped. Even allowing for the fact we went on holiday in my partner's car it is still a long time/lot of miles without using any oil?
