Does anyone use the Eco button?

Have had my V60 T4 for several months before I remembered about this, and tried it out on a long run.
Presumably the idea is to save on fuel?

Yes! Always try to use it as often as possible. It does make the automatic air conditioning less efficient - so no good on the hottest days we have been having recently, but during most of the year it is a useful help for fuel efficiency. According to the app we are averaging since purchase 48.7mpg. Well pleased with this figure - town, larger road and motorway driving, including some faster speeds recently in Germany.
