Hi,
I also have a similar one with a 6-speed transmission, which I've owned since April 2007 (first registered in May 2006), and I've driven almost 80,000 km since then. The fuel consumption has been between 4.2 (summer, 90% highway, speedometer 95-100 km/h, the rest city driving with little traffic) and 5.7 (winter, 70% highway where allowed, speedometer 140 km/h, the rest city driving) liters per 100 km. "Typically, an Autobahn (highway) covers a distance of 220 km, including a 40 km stretch of tunnel (with speed limits of 100 km/h and 80 km/h respectively), a 20 km section with a speed restriction (100 km/h), and a total elevation difference of approximately 600 meters between the lowest and highest points."
Overall, the fuel consumption is approximately 4.85 liters per 100 kilometers. I find it noteworthy that the fuel consumption on long trips at temperatures just below 0°C is about 10% higher than it is at temperatures between 10-15°C – in both cases with a dry road surface and winter tires. As far as I recall, this difference wasn't as pronounced with the AFN model I had before.
The oil change intervals always reached the full 30,000 km (according to the display). Once, the two-year limit was reached first, and another time it was the $57a inspection (Austrian TÜV), where I "wasted" about 4500 km to avoid having to go to the dealership so close together (2 months). The third time, I almost reached the 30,000 km mark with 29,100 km. There was no need to refill the fluid between the intervals, but the last time, the level had reached the MIN mark.
As dieselmartin wrote, the responsiveness at low speeds is very good (much better than the 90kW TSI that we have in our family), and just above the speedometer reading of 200 km/h, it's also possible to achieve speeds on flat sections of the German autobahn (which is probably approximately equivalent to the registered 187 km/h).

Looking at your fuel consumption of 3.9-4.3 liters per 100 kilometers and considering the distance...

... I have to say, I don't think that's enough. I *estimate* you'll need to add about 0.5 liters, maybe even more. I'm not sure what a Bluemotion would bring to this area, as I lack the experience to say.

The rest is highway, and this is limited to 120 km/h for 2/3 of the distance. I would only use a start/stop automatic system for leisurely driving. For the 206, it's a relief that it has a relatively flat silhouette with a gently sloping windshield, a comparatively low front, and a reasonably acceptable rear design. The hatchback body style was already aerodynamically optimized in the design, and in the "eco" version, features like a full underbody panel, lowered suspension, and a longer transmission were added. [img] These flat front designs are a thing of the past, as are aerodynamic subcompact cars. The Golf seems much taller and bulkier than the Polo, and even its front end is not nearly as flat. The rear end of the Golf appears steeper, while the Polo seems almost boxy to me.
