If you notice, that when a car is idling and you switch on the A/C, the engine must be sped up to prevent it from stalling. Which proves that idling is hard for any IC engine. The IC engine ONLY operates efficiently in a narrow RPM range., That's why a heavy and inefficient transmission must be used.
