My 7A used to burn a bit of oil, but lately, every time I check the dipstick, the oil level is in the exact same spot when I used to go through about a half quart a month. But for almost a month, it's been roughly the same. Is it even possible for the dipstick to read the oil level wrong?

If the car is cold, and level, the dipstick will read properly. Your bitching about your car NOT burning oil anymore?I envy you good sir, my engine eats oil like gas...
