Here goes nothing;

Aircon in 147 (Lusso / Distinctive) is far more sophisticated as with mi old 156. 147 has sun sensor, automatic demisting, smog sensor & left/right seperate temp. control.

Yes, as Aircon is driven by a cooling pump (like yer good ol'fridge @ home) it takes up some power. Between 10 and 20 % so I've heard.
Modern systems have a modulating pump, rather then an on/off like ol fridge....
