When in Auto mode, is it using the air-con compressor therefore using more fuel? And when in Econ mode, is it just a manual blower like in most non-aircon cars?
Yip !!!
I use "auto" all the time...
So do I. Just let it do it's thing in the winter and summer.
As for it saving fuel... Not a believer of that old tale. Maybe 20 years ago on a Granada or Sierra but today engines and methods are designed to take the running onboard. The compressor won't run if the temp is below 5 degrees anyway, so that most of the the winter and in the summer if you don't have the aircon, people generally have the window open which causes drag and uses more fuel!
