    If you're driving around town in traffic on a cold day would you have the heater blower on for the entire journey?

    I hardly use mine,, and never put it above level 1.
    I just leave it on zero,, (ders always a bit of air coming on mine when off like) and i just flick between hot/cold.

    I hate that artificial heat/air,, and i garage the beast to avoid having to clear all that condensation in the mornings. :D

    When I'm travelling a distance, I just leave mine on at level 1....I know electrical stuff increase fuel consumption so I try not use anything electrical....well except the radio...I don't think I could drive without it on

    Aircon + heat works for me. Actually, heat alone just saps up more moisture from wet clothes, etc.
    Cold-dry air from the Aircon is better.

    i usually keep the temp in the blue.... after the car warms up.

    I hate driving with no air coming in so i put the fan strength at 3.

    Ditto that, no vehicle I have used has had a good heater system with "nice" warm air. I usually have the fan running at minimum, and when warmed through might well crack open the window or roof to mix in some decent air.
