I think dual fans would definitely help on hills, which have lower coolant flow due to lower rpm's. I might use that trick, provided I can keep below 206 at all other times, and can figure out how to do it. This would cause a drain on the mpg but would definitely keep the engine cooler. Another thing I've not tried yet is to go in 3rd gear and go slower.

In my civic I never got above 204 which is normal operating temperature...
