I've been running the A/C a lot lately which forces the gas engine to run more than it normally would. The Econ button allows the engine to turn off sometimes, while still loosely maintaining the desired cabin temperature. It's a handy feature, but there's still no way around it, A/C equals lower MPG. It's been really nice to have the cooling in this heat though!
