1.5 TSI Driving Mode Selection - does Eco vs Normal affect gear switch rpms ?

[Patraulea]

For cars with the 1.5 TSI DSG engine and the Driving Mode Selection option, is there any difference between "Eco" and "Normal" in terms of the rpm at which the car switches gears ? Or do "Eco" and "Normal" still switch around 2200 rpm, just like in the standard "D" mode ?

As far as I'm aware, Eco affects coasting, rather than changing up gear whilst accelerating.

 

I think it also affects ACC and has a more of an easing off and coasting effect when vehicle in front starts to slow down.

 

Not sure about the 1.5, but the 1.0tsi can save anything from about 7% (cruising) to 14% urban) by switching from E10 unleaded to E5 premium fuel as it pulls better from lower revs so doesn't change down as much.   Sort of makes it a no brainer providing it doesn't cost more than 7% (about 10p per litre) extra.
