no Sorry to have to correct you but yes it does. When you turn on the heater in a car two extra loads are added to the engine. First the heater fan is turned on, This adds an extra load to the alternator, which in turn puts more drag on the engine, using more fuel.
Is the extra amount of fuel used large enough to be detectable? yes, but only after you have run the heat for a long time. The second additional load, is not universal. On some cars there is an electric heating element which is turned on when the heat is turned up to high. When this element is being run, it put a pretty big load on the alternator so when it is running there is definitely a drop in MPG for the car.

Assuming you can afford a second, that might make sense, depending on the condition of both cars, and depending on how much you're willing to spend on repairs. The decisiion comes to this, "Do I want to buy a second car, spend that money, and worry about insurance and repairs for two cars, or do I want to use one car and repair it?" It's your choice in the end.
