Pale is correct. Darin tested this a while ago.

Since I run with my alternator disabled, and now that it is fairly cold in the morning, I'm still very careful about using the fan. As Darin found out, his fan can consume more power than his car requires to run the engine! That, plus the addition of using headlights is a large drain to the battery. If I can avoid it, I don't use it.
