Check your PCV valve on the engine, make sure it's working properly, and replace [priusdiy.com] if you haven't yet and it's due for servicing.
Those Prius also have piston ring issues and that might also be something to look into, I worked on a friend's one that he bought and we fixed it up for cheap, we did a piston soak/top soak and that did a decent job to slow down the oil consumption (assuming you don't have a physical leak of motor oil). If you have the mechanical know-how, try changing those
Final thing, use a high mileage oil, that tends to help a bit more for these Toyota cars with oil consumption issues.

I've already replaced the PCV valve. I've done all the soaks/cleaners you can imagine. The oil consumption isn't too bad. About a quart every oil change. Most people would say that low of an oil burning car isn't worth even worrying about. I'm OCD about stuff like that. I'm definitely going to try this oil and see what happens.

Interesting bit of info from a 2007 Prius owner's manual - pg. 325, "Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km (1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 Imp.qt./600 miles).
