@EarMaster
Sensing some confusion out there.
ECO mode, exactly as the name implies, uses less water and less energy.

    Under some specific circumstances AUTO might be more economic but that would be the exception rather than a rule.

    It is for me. The user manual states how much water and energy is used for each program. For the Auto program a range is given. The water consumption of the Eco program is almost identical to the worst value of the Auto program. I can measure the power consumption using a smart plug and I know that - at least for my dishes - the Auto program uses less energy than the Eco program.
