Something is really messed up! My Firebird has been acting up lately, the problems are as follows
1. I checked the plugs and the front driver side plugs has oil on it, and it gummy oil.
2. The SES light blinks while driving, it not continuous but its on constant then blinks for a little bit then is on constant.
3. At WOT and when the SES light is blinking there is white smoke from the exhaust.
4. It backfires after letting off after you take it to WOT.
5. The gas mileage has been HORRIBLE.
Thats about it for all the problem, kinda sucks but oh well. Im leaving tomorrow and will hafta wait till the end of April to fix it.

DON'T drive it wide open if it is mis-firing (which it is, hence the blinking SES light). Read your owner's manual on this subject. You need to figure out how the oil is getting in there. It could be getting past the PCV valve and into the intake, but this sounds like a LOT of oil consumption, it could also be worn rings. You might want to have a compression test done on it. Once you can identify how the oil is getting into the cylinders and correct the problem you will need to clean or replace all the plugs. Again, don't thrash on it, drive it very gently or not at all until you get everything straightened out.
