I think the TC is only variable because it assumes you are using no fuel when stationary so the less you reset it the accurate it should become (assuming you spend more time moving than sat in traffic - which is questionable these days!).
It can't do because when you stop in traffic, or at the lights, or sitting on the drive with the engine running, the fuel cosumption starts falling. The more you stop the less accurate it is, as far as knowing how well the engine is performing it terms of fuel economy.

I got my eco settings from the forum. They are written down somewhere in the handbook I belive.

All the best.
