Here is a trick to minimize gas usage on ERDTT:
Put the heating to "Max"
Set the temperature to "28C"
Set the fan speed to you liking
Optional: Set ventilation to "Windshield Max"
The Max 28C will force the use of the electric heating coil in the engine Prestone. In most case it will be enough to keep the prestone temp above 60C all the time. Only time when it will drop below 52C is if it is really cold and you have the fan running above the half mark.
Try it, you will be pleasantly surprised as to how much fuel it saves.
