If you are burning oil "like crazy" I will assume you can see bluish smoke coming from the exhaust. Typically it is an internal problem such as worn piston rings. Since it is an older car, something probably got worn enough to let oil enter the cylinders when operating. Unless you want to keep the car, you might want to go shopping! Repair could get expensive.
