On the way to 90? Anyway, I remember times - mainly the first years of my car - that a 60 MPG trip was a real milestone. So besides some mods and improved driving habbits, it could be a result of a perfectly broken in engine & tires.

My trip to France went fine but I couldn't get better than a disappointing 4.2l/100km, with 3 to 4 passengers, luggage and a lot of 110km/h driving.

P&G could work in 3th gear at low speeds, or in higher gears after ECU tuning. But I tried it and it's not really my thing. I just love the friendly hum of the engine at constant speeds.
It's not disapointing at all for such a big car at those speeds. I don't think the Octavia will get the same numbers as the Fabia in similar conditions, however, they could come close.
