Question, If you are worried about running a cooling fan to save fuel, why are you then running the air conditioning?
I barely see any difference when running an electric load but when I turn on the AC, I get anywhere from 2 mpg in my Econoline to 5mpg in my minivan.
Be careful cutting off your cooling fan with your ac condenser on. The money you save in gas may be going to buy you a new engine or transmission. Just saying....

You don't want your oem cooling fans turning on earlier or staying on longer than they do without a new grill shutter mod. The e-fans eat mpg on their own. I always wanted to just shut off the seconday fan for my a/c once i was rolling 30mph or better, especially if its really hot the regular fan may be on too anyway and pulling air thru the condenser already
