The engine drives the A/C compressor by way of a belt. This puts an extra strain on the engine which uses more gasoline than if the A/C were turned off and the compressor was not being driven. Even the HVAC blower motor which runs on electricity causes the engine to use more fuel. The blower motor runs off the 12 volt battery but the battery is kept charged by the alternator which is driven by the engine. Everything on the car that is electrical uses fuel in one way or another.
