I do not see how using the heater would effect MPG. The AC on the Prius is all electric, there is no compressor to put drag on the engine.

How often should auto air conditioner cycle on and off?

Hard to give an answer with no info. What vehicle? year, make, model? What position is the heater control in when a/c cycling occurs? Usually, if you are using your defrost cycle, the air conditioner runs in order to dry the air. In some newer cars, the a/c will run in most settings of the heater control to dry the air and make heating/cooling of the interior more efficient. Hope this helps.
