Does the heater in a car use the gas or the electricity of the car?

Most cars that is powered by a gasoline engine uses the heat from the radiator to heat the interior of the car. A gas engine uses a water pump that circulates water through the engine and out to the radiator to transfer the heat generated by the ignition. The radiator cools the water and returns it to the engine to keep it cool. Some of this heated water is sent to the small radiator used to heat the air that is blown into the car's interior. The fan that blows the air is powered by Electricity. This can be tested when you have a engine that is trying to overheat during the Summer. If the gage shows the temperature going high, then turn on the heater and it will cool the temperature just slightly. The reason is that the heater's radiator acts as an extra radiator that will help cool the water's temperature. Of course, you will sweat a lot with the heater running full blast during the summer.

Much better if we will just use electricity for cars since you will recharge it instead of using gas that produces gas that can harm us all especially the environment.
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.
