OK, you disn't ask for it but I am giving it to you anyway.
Always turn your headlights off when you turn the engine off. Why waste the alternator and dash lights when they are not needed? I seldom drive on 2 lane roads, so I turn off the DRLs to save headlight bulbs and gasoline.
Always dim the dash illumination to about 80%, that way the bulbs will not burn out.
Always leave the blower on. With ECC, keep it in the automatic position. With MCC, keep it at 1 or 2 for normal temps. This keeps fresh air flowing through the cabin at all times which is good for you and the passengers.
If you have ECC, always leave the AC switched on. Let the ECC determine when you need AC so you don't have to fiddle with it.
Remember, hot coolant always flows through the heater core. It is the vents that keep it from coming into the cabin. On older cars, there will be a small amount of leakage at the vent which just might cause the steering column area to get warm. Or the sun shining on the column while parked will retain a lot of heat as well as the engine compartment heating up the metal part of the steering column.
