By any chance has their been any change to how fuel economy is officially measured and reported out?
There are number of things that could give modest adjustment in "official fuel economy", such as tires with lower rolling resistance, or changes in systems that actually put load on the engine, like AC, etc..
It is certainly possible that they made some tuning changes in the latest version of the engine, though I would have expected them to have done that a year or two in.. if it actually improved fuel economy.
I'll keep an eye out for any official Honda specs on the 2020 1.5T to see if there are any subtle changes in hp, boost, torque, etc.
