Q: ok, I have always heard that the air conditioner uses more gas when turned on. Is this true? Does the heater also use more gas? I turned my heater on one morning last week (yeah, middle of summer and i need the heater... maine sucks ass) and I noticed the rpm meter move up a bit when I did, and went down a bit when i turned it back off. This was all while I was still parked in my driveway.

I was also wondering if Cruise control uses less, more, or just the same amount of gas if it's turned on or off.

Is there anything else that uses slightly more gas turned on when I'm driving?
using the a/c will use more gas mileage but the heater shouldn't. And the rpm goin up and down is most likely the car iddilng and i would think that cruise control would use less bcuz the car is goin at a steady speed and i don't think there is nething else that will use more gas. hope i helped *STEPHANIE* *X*O*X*O*
