I have an Ultragauge on both of the vehicles we're currently driving and keep an eye on the coolant temps. It's easy to tell when fans kick on because the temps will hit a max temp, and then rapidly drop until the low threshold. I haven't hit that yet in the Camry, but am quite familiar with that point on the TSX. I also have an alarm set to go off just before the the temps hit the fan threshold.

I feel that I have a good feel for any car that I regularly drive. I can tell the difference between 87 octane and 89 octane in my TSX, but strangely, I don't notice a single extra passenger. Add 2 or more, and I notice. Maybe I'm just accustom to a passenger.
We are talking about only 4-5% difference in weight, so maybe my butt dyno isn't calibrated precise enough. Then again, I would think the difference in octane would be on the same order of performance difference.
