Default Oil Guzzler

Can someone tell me why my 1990 Honda Accord EX burns oil fast. What may be the causes. It only smokes a little if I hit the gas hard when passing someone. It does not have any leaks either. Nothing on the ground.

you need fresh rings, the oil wiper rings have lost tension and aren't wiping down the cylinder walls
