Yes a/c does rob engine power. If you have a automatic like me my tranny kinda kicks down faster after driving hard. I have noticed that sometimes the car seems laggy.

All cars lose power from the flywheel, if that's what you mean, before it gets to the wheels. On averages it's about 20% to 35% percent of loss depending on transmission with FWD losing the least and AWD losing the most. As for loss simply through driving, I think it's simply due to becoming acclimated to driving for the day.
