Yeah,we're kinda stuck with them until material technology allows an adiabatic engine with zero cooling.
For continuous highway driving we don't need a fan at all.CAR and DRIVER illustrated that one back in '74.
I drove the Dodge 100-mile round trip without one,running the heater on high for auxiliary cooling on surface streets 'til I got home.
