Does using the heater or AC in your vehicle use more gas?

The heater simply channels the heat created by your car's engine into your car, thus utilizing no gas. On the other hand, the A/C forces the car's engine to turn a small air compressor which creates so much pressure that it turns your car's "refrigerant" gas to a liquid. That's quite a lot of work. So in other words, the heating uses none but the ac uses a decent bit, not much though if u use it only occasionally.

A/C: Yes. Definitely.

Revoked Licence?

This often comes as a surprise to many people, but cars designed in the past 15 years or so are more efficient with the A/C running and the windows rolled up. If you turn off the A/C and roll the windows down, the aerodynamics of the car change and produce more drag. This uses more fuel than what's required to power the A/C compressor!
