The answer is NO. In power saving mode, the AC merely switches off the fan also, along with the compressor, when the desired temperature is achieved. Normally, only the compressor is turned off when the temperature is reached. The compressor accounts for 95% of the AC's power consumption. So switching off the fan doesn't really make a big difference. In fact, it has a negative impact. This is because despite the compressor being turned off, the fan continues to vent residual cool air. This cool air helps in reducing the temperature of the room. However, if the fan is switched off along with the compressor, not only is this residual cool air wasted but the temperature of the room rises faster due lack of any cooler air being pumped into the room. As a result, the compressor switches on sooner than usual thus actually consuming more power. Moreover, although the compressor is switched off, the air circulated still stays cooler for some time because the compresses liquid/gas in the compressor does not lose its pressure immediately after being switched off. So by keeping the fan on after the compressor is switched off actually makes full use of the compressor.
