The big answer is, "it depends".

- Some cars mix in warm engine coolant when you set the temperature warmer. Run these on max cool and cycle on and off.
- Some cycle the compressor on and off to get the desired temperature. Run this one at the highest temp you can tolerate.

Of course, the most efficient answer is, "None". Even in Texas.
