Best Answer

Most dual a/c systems in passenger vans simply "T" the low side of the refrigerant to two evaporators, one in the front and one in the rear. There is still only one compressor, so increased fuel use would be marginal. Some big vehicles like buses have multiple compressors that would use more fuel with both systems in operation.
