OT:

How in the world can a person used up 1 liter of olive oil a week.

There is actually a whole category of dishes in Turkish cuisine called "zeytinyagli" which literally translates to "with olive oil." As the name suggests, these are dishes wherein olive oil isn't just used when the pan is heated up, but is a significant part of the final prepared dish.

Couple that with the routine use of ample olive oil in the daily salad that goes with the meal, and you have a significant volume of the stuff passing through the kitchen on any given week.

Granted this may be more of an ethnic peculiarity, but it's not all that surprising from my personal experience.
