As it would relate to compressor run time, yes.

The compressor run time is determined by the evaporator outlet
temperature. As long as the evaporator temperature is above 33F. the
compressor will run. Regardless of the setting.

Best fuel economy can be had by driving with ac off and windows
up. Any time the ac is on, it costs gas, and is proportional to
compressor on time. So the question is: how much do you like to sweat?
