Does a car heater blower on high use more gas?

Yes it does. When the battery uses power the alternator has to charge the battery and it becomes harder to turn when more electricity is required. When you have the fan on high it essentially makes the alternator harder to turn so it does use more gas. It may be an incremental amount but it is more.

How much do car heaters cost?

Need to give some more details on what you mean, exactly. A electric heater for the car, a block/oil pan heater, what, exactly? A car's heater works by hot antifreeze going through the heater core. The blower fan blows air across the heater core into the HVAC vents. Since the air being blown is colder than the heater core, the heat transfers to that air, and the heat goes through your HVAC compartment. A heater core is about a $20 - $50 part. Blower motor prices can vary greatly.
