It has blue smoke on starting and I can see blue smoke in other peoples' headlights when accelearting. I haven't checked on deceleration. There is soot on the bumper rather quickly. 4 cylinders are said to have good compression. Why would 2 go all of a sudden.

Each "option" will tell you something different about the root cause of the oil usage. Sorry you're having issues with the car, but burning oil is one of those things that can show up anytime after ~100k miles (sooner is you're really unlucky).
