Good points! It took a concious amount of effort to drive with that level of economy. It was only curiosity (combined with commuting boredom) that I thought Id try to see what I could get out of it if I actively tried drive economically. Its actually quite taxing - ive never used the eco setting before but noticed it was switching the engine off when I could lift off the throttle and coast for a bit which I found a bit disconcerting so disabled it. I dont really rag it but do try to drive with a sense of purpose normally on that commute and would typically average around 38-39mpg on the run in "normal" mode. I'd be interested to see if anyones averaged 50mpg over a similar length run of say an hour and a half as I think I might be able to eek another .5mpg if i really tried and kept the auto stop start thing on.

Not sure if theres a more recent thread on this but on my commute to work this morning I thought I would try and drive a bit gentler. I put it in Eco mode but switched off the auto stop / start as i dont like that so much and got 48mpg. Was cross country with a short section of motorway (three junctions of the M11) The rest was country roads through Cambs with a few junctions and roundabouts. Car is a 2020 petrol VRS 245 with DSG. I was really impressed with that fuel consumption!!

Is that what those blocks are in the pic, over the exhaust? Can they be removed without affecting the handling? -

Will add myself to this as have been lurking for a while. Just before christmas I bought a 2020 Octavia VRS estate, TSI, DSG in metallic blue - had one previous owner on 28k miles before I picked it up. Think its a fairly base spec and its a bit noisy inside compared to cars ive owned previously but other than that enjoying it so far.
