With the relatively puny heat output of Sterno, wouldn't cracking a window result in a net loss of heat?

I guess the output is puny relative to a big 'ol space heater, but it's downright massive compared to a candle. I use one outdoors while hunting on cold mornings and it sure is nice to lean over. A vehicle gets toasty pretty quick, at least at the temps I am used to.
