At least on my Honda civic the high and low mark are about 1 quart of oil, half a quart lower and I'm to the tip of the dips stick a full quart low and the oil pump runs dry if I take a sharp corner.
Apparently it's "normal" for a new car to use up to a quart of oil between oil changes without anything being wrong.
