    or heater were working hard

    Hmm, that shouldn’t be the case for ICE cars. ICEs are so inefficient at converting chemical energy into motion that they produce vast amounts of waste heat, more heat than would ever be required to heat the passenger compartment. “Turning on” the heater simply diverts some of the waste heat away from the external radiator.
