If you are using the front defroster, then yes. The defroster for the windshield turns on your A/C compressor, so it uses up quite a bit of gasoline.
The rear defroster uses an electrical current through wires and they don't take up much electricity. The amount of gas it uses will be neglible.
Heat does not use up gasoline once the engine is warmed up to optimal temperature. The heat comes from the energy that is being wasted from the engine.

The defroster will - the defroster is really the AC running -at least on cars made in the last 15 years or so - any motor load uses more gas.

Used cooking oil does no longer artwork as a motor oil--the viscosity is incorrect, and the temperatures in an engine would destroy it down at as straight away as and destroy your engine. it somewhat works perfect as a gas for diesel engines, even besides the undeniable fact that. because of the very reality it particularly is heavier than popular diesel or biodiesel, you'll would want to commence your engine on popular diesel, use engine warm temperature to warmth up the vegetable oil, and then replace over to vegetable oil. There are web content that grant you help on the thanks to make the conversion. in case you needed to make your guy or lady biodiesel, used cooking oil is what you'll use as a feedstock.

Nope, it doesnt use up any more gas than not using your heater or de-frost.
This can be know with a basic understanding of car engine mechanics :D

yes but it is very minute....it takes electricity to run the blower motor...that comes from the battery and is replaced by the alternator... making the alternator make just a little bit more electricity to run the blower takes a wee tiny bit more gas.

yeah everything from the radio to the a/c uses gas because gas ultimately charges the battery from which these things get their energy from.

Not on most cars. There are some blend air systems that use the AC compressor.

So little that it would be impossible to notice.
