A/C compressor driven directly off engine: turn A/C on and engine must work harder to drive the compressor, thus less power available to drive wheels. If you haven't had your A/C serviced in a while, it's even less efficient, and you run cabin fan @ higher speed. One radiator fan comes on whenever A/C on, too. I imagine this added electrical load translates to increased load on alternator (also driven off engine), but don't know if this is significant.
