It seems quite a lot, but the car has done a highish mileage. If it was mine I would just put the oil in as it is not leaking.
I have never heard of a porous block on a Focus engine.

He reckons about 500 miles per litre. 10W40 semi synthetic.
Is that the right spec oil? Previous posts have suggested 5/30 or 0/30. Mind you, using a thinner oil *might* make the consumption worse.

Well if it isn't leaking onto the floor it must be burning it out of the exhaust.

Ford recommended 5W30 oil for my 1999 1.8i - shouldn't the 1.6 use the same ?
I've been a member of a couple of Focus forums for a while and don't remember reading anything about porous cylinder heads.
My Focus had done around 86k miles when I sold it and very rarely needed topping up between services (approx. 10k per year) so the usage you mention does sound excessive, from my experience at least.
