that the temp. should be keep to the coldest so the compressor will cut off faster?

The compressor for the Cerato will run till air is a fixed temp of around 10 deg and then cut off. This keeps the air coming out of the aircon at around that temp. When you adjust your dial, you are actually controlling the air temp by mixing the cold air with your heater air.
For my case, my fan at first marker, temp at at 1 stop from point where hot air comes out. On hot afternoons, will turn to 9 o clock position. Otherwise always at 11.30am position.

i tink it's becoz of the mildew or sumthing like tat in the aircon ducts..u can try ionizer..I got this Medisac Ionizer free when I took up insurance with AXA last time...Plug into 12V ciggy socket..It removes smell from the car quite effectively..watever smell (smelly socks, durians, packet food, ciggarette), noticed disappear quite instantly once i switch on the ionizer..

Swtich to coldest = more petrol. 9-11 position = fc ok. Total off it = Best FC.
