I'm already pretty much 100% sure I have a bad head gasket that leaks into cylinder #2. I get a rough idle now, and cylinder #2 misses a lot at idle.

My door sensor for the drivers door doesn't register that the door is open anymore, so it re-locks the doors after 30 seconds or something if I've only opened that door.

My idle is smooth as silk, so no vacuum leak as far as I can tell. I'll replace the valve soon and see if that reduces consumption at all.
