I just get curious and like to try stuff.

This is something interesting I found... I drove from Flagstaff, AZ to Phoenix, AZ about 130miles with the fan off. Never did it get above op temp. Then I drove around Phoenix. I went about 20 miles stop and go traffic in Phoenix and never used the fan. I turned it on once to make sure I didn't already have it on. So about the Law of Conservation of Energy, if you don't use energy, well horray! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I'm sure I'll use it going back up the hills, but maybe not. There is a ~2000ft climb between Verde Valley and Camp Verde. Hard uphill, slow trucks on the side of the road, about 10 miles, and never used the fan. I watched my gauge more than the road... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Never got above half.

Now I do have a 3core radiator and a 22RET thermostat(180deg). And that may have something to do with it. I don't think I'll even use the fan all winter in Flagstaff, sounds like I'll be getting better gasmileage in Flag <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Take care
