    Most heaters use engine coolant heat to heat the air. That's why you can slow down overheating by switching the climate control to full heat... pulls heat out of the coolant and into the blower.

    As for AC, it's a bigger drag on smaller engines. Even today, a strong AC system can sap some 15-20 hp out of a small motor. In recent testing on one car, AC use dropped economy from around 22 km/l down to 16-18 km/l.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    In my 95 1.6 Sentra (105hp), noticeable yung power drain once na nagengage yung compressor.

    In our 2.5 diesel Adventure, barely noticeable yung pang engage ng compressor, maliban na lang sa tunog, considering na 73 hp lang. Is this because of the low-end torque of diesels?
