What idiot has the air conditioner and heater on at the same time?
Ai.. please go get your GED...

The article refers to using the Aircon to heat the interior of the car, NOT having the Aircon cool the car while the blower heater is also on..

So, to summarize:

Do NOT use the Aircon to heat interior by setting the temperature higher than 23.. Use the normal blower heater to heat, with the Aircon turned off..

Turn the A/C off when you only need heat.

Gonna miss riding my bike to work. R100 will last me almost a month. I was in an accident, 3 weeks back. Bike written off. Want to buy a second car now, but with petrol this high, I won't sleep at night knowing we're filling two cars every month. Think I'll walk to work through the summer and decide next year.

LOL, modern cars these days have like a split system I think, for example if your passengers are getting cold (heater) and the driver is getting hot (aircon)..... then it is possible to have both on ?
