IMHO,
I wouldn't worry about it. And yes if you sucked your pan dry you would notice a guage drop.
There are alot of contributing factors on this issue. I have pounded several Oldsmobiles unmercifully and never sucked a pan dry. I had an 68 Olds with factory 433 gears and drove it 140 miles to a racetrack several times, The tach was at least 3500 RPM all the way. That engine had well over 50 pounds of pressure on the highway and never had an issue.
Keep the oil full and forget it.
