ECO is pants. Keep it in Comfort mode as a minimum. Can’t drive my Cupra 300 in ECO at all. Comfort is good for pottering but other than that I just put the DSG into Sport and the car turns wild.
Mpg varies from 33-37 in comfort and low 20’s in Sport/Cupra.
If you’re worried about Mpg go and swap the 290 for a 1.4 ACT FR.
Just my opinion.
Cheers mate
Cheers pal and definatley not swapping i have just swapped a leon st 1.6tdi tech pack so just wondering what kind of mpg i would get in the different driving modes in my CupraECO is pants.

My Golf R returns anywhere between 22 and 47mpg. The norm seems to be 35 - 37 mpg on run to work which is about 20 miles.

I work week on week off. So sensible for my week at work fun on my week off. If i sit at 60 on a dual carriageway I get 40-42 mpg on a 35 mile trip. Mix of single and dual carriageway. Weeks off tend to be between 20-30 mpg lol
I got 32 on mainly country roads over 33 miles the other day, long term (since I collected it 10 days ago) is 25.8.... let’s just say I’m enjoying it a little too much at the mo lol
First tank of fuel lasted a week and about 270 miles

I can beat that, 1st tank of fuel lasted 5 days and 230 miles lol. I do drive to work and back everyday in literal start stop traffic though so average mpg is ruined as a result. The rare time I get a clean run to work I get 35mpg easy. Starting to wonder if the start stop engine thing is actually using more fuel than it saves lol
Im still enjoying the map on my 280 but Still getting around 40mpg going to work in eco 35 miles each way. All a roads mix of single and dual carriageway. I work week on week off though and my week off she sits in cupra all the time and gets about 25mpg but boy is she fun lol

Brill, my first tank of fuel lasted about 265 miles which was also 5 days lol
Since my last refuel I have averaged 29mpg but I am always in Cupra mode in D, long term is up to 26.3

Switch it off when you get in your car or get it disabled with OBD/Carista/VCDS.
