two things cause a car to slow down friction from the wheels and drag from the air. cars experience resistance from the air (drag) and this resistance increases as the speed of the air/car increases. As a result the more fuel is needed to keep the car going at a higher constant speed (you have to press harder on the gas pedal at that speed).

Why does running the air conditioning in a car use more gas?

Air Conditioning is a unit connected to the engine... when ac on, it connects to power from the engine to make it operate... it uses power making the engine work harder, consuming more gas. I've heard from research that driving less that 50mph(or 40 i think) with windows down is more fuel efficient.. while driving 40 or 50mph + and having the ac on is more fuel efficient.. because of drag from wind.

How fuel supply is related to horse power of an diesel engine?

Diesels run on only needing fuel and air to operate. The more load that is demanded out of the engine means that the injectors are going to open up and meter more fuel. And with more fuel comes more air (ie: superchargers, and turbochargers) So the more fuel that is need the more air is need also. So the more fuel you can add to your engine, the more horse power will be produced.

No it will not. If you have more air exhaust going out you have more air/fuel coming in thus more power but less fuel economy. Its a trade off.
