Well I was going to say head gasket, but you mention you've had that seen to. I know my mechanic said that the XF is prone to gasket leaks.. mine's been done a coupla times.
Though I've never had massive amounts of oil leaking, just the odd drip. Perhaps get the head checked again?

thats strange that you use no oil around town and 8 litres during country driving. is your engine covered in oil? noticed any leaks at all? what do your plugs look like after you do the long runs? the plugs will tell ya if your burning oil or not.

sounds like upper cylinder to me, like he said check your plugs then check for black smoke under heavy acceleration
