I have a 2004 Honda Accord, that is manual transmission. It runs fine when the engine is on, but when I turn off the engine to conserve gas, and sit and listen to the radio during lunch, about 10 maybe 15 minutes later, everything goes dead and I need a jump. Is that the battery or the alternator?

Turning off the AC will conserve gas. The AC compressor cycles off and on and while it’s “on” it’s creating a significant drag on the engine.
Turning off the heat doesn’t do a thing. The heat is just excess engine heat that is used to warm the car’s interior. One might argue that it cools down the motor and might cause some emission’s problems, but that’s more theory than fact.
And lastly in practice I agree with everyone else that the radio does not effect gas mileage. However all electrical components of the auto run off the alternator. The more current being drawn causes the alternator to create more drag on the engine. But this drag is insignificant and will not be noticed.
