I've just found this thread Peter, and will follow your travels with interest. We drove down to Occitanie and back at the end of July in the new-to-us Octavia vRS DSG estate. My average was hovering around 50mpg at a Waze-indicated 130-132kmh, although I did back off a little on some of the longer hills as the oil temperature crept above 120C (it was mid-high 30s outside though!)
We had originally intended to visit Barcelona and Figueres for two days each, followed by a weekend in Paris before coming home. The change in FCO travel advice which came through while we were at our overnight stop at Orleans put paid to that idea, so a quick reshuffle on Airbnb resulted in us ending up in a tiny gîte in the forests south of Millau.
We too had a tag for the tolls, and altered the headlights for LHD - not that we did any night driving. I think the LHD/RHD selection may only affect the sensors for auto high beam and steering lights on the Skoda; it doesn't seem to do anything to the beam pattern.
