“Max cool / max heat only” is for troglodytes. While I agree that the auto-settings are ~useless, the One True Method is to keep the fan speed on low to maintain airflow and adjust the temp for comfort.

Nah. I like just leaving it on Auto with 70-72 °F. It blasts the fan to cool off or warm up quick in extreme temps, then calms down once it gets closer to the temp.

That’s my strategy most of the time except during prime time Oklahoma Summers and Winters. Once it’s over 100 or below 10, it becomes a max heat/cool game otherwise it would do nothing to combat the temperature

Why use the air at all if you don’t want it warmer or cooler? And if you want it warmer or cooler, why not use the max setting until it reaches the desired temperature? You’re using the same amount of energy, it just takes longer and you’re uncomfortable longer.

Because moving air keeps the cabin from getting stuffy. I’ll crank it to the extremes to get the bulk of the temperature change done, but then dial it in to a comfortable neutral temperature once that’s accomplished.

So you do what I do exactly, but you use buttons to adjust a temperature rather than turning dials to set the temp and airflow, which is objectively worse.
