      Running the heat can be energy draining because you don’t have a hot engine to draw air from. Using the heated seats is much more efficient but of course less comfortable in cold weather.

        Oh ‘Run the heat’ means using the heater! I was so confused. I thought this was referring to driving fast or running from the cops or something.

      You can use the AC is fine and you get pretty close to the rated mileage, but the heated air is a bigger drain.

        Newer models come with a heat pump now, so running the heat should be just as efficient as running the AC.
