I thought about that, but I didn't think that the additional engine loading from a 3 mpg drop in mileage while running in the mid 70's mpg would create enough additional heat to cause the fan to run 1/3 more often. I can notice the effects of the additional drag while coasting and while climbing hills that are at my limit of maintaining speed while remaining in lean burn.
