I like even heat and cooling. I have an up to date thermostat that can
be set to 0.2 of a degree. The heat comes on often that way but I waste
not one BTU of heat because I run the fan 24/7. Having it set that way
with auto fan will waste some heat because the plenum has to pre-heat
before the blower comes on. Not a lot of waste but some.

Running the fan 24/7 costs money, too.

My thermostat runs my furnace about once every hour when it is 20
degrees and I am thinking about adjusting the swing on the thermostat
to a lower number so that the system keeps a more consistent temp. Is
this going to cost me more in gas. The swing will allow the system
(set at 62 for heat) to come on at 61 and run it up to 63. So the
swing is 3 degrees. I figure I might go to 2 or one to cycle the
system more and be more consistent temp. Any thoughts?
