Re: Heat vs. A/C
If it does it's very minor. You have to run a fan which uses some power. In a conventional car you use the heat the engine is already generated and being removed via the cooling system. A hybrid would be the same. I'd assume that even if the ICE is off for a while it would not cool down significantly and have no effect on the heat produced.
A/C needs to power a compressor which does suck down some power.
