My average speed from MPguino was 65km/h on the whole route. Through many cities with speed limit of 50km/h Ususlly I'm speeding up to 95km/h killing the engine and gliding to 80km/h then bump starting the engine and do another pulse.
My upper grill is completely blocked, the lower one has an opening with dimensions of ~10x25cm. Temps were around +30 degrees Celsius and that was fine no need for fan to turn on. You have to test your grill with a pieces of cardborad and you'll find the best ratio between closing and opening the air flow.
But first get rid of that brake drag! That's the reason for your poor FE IMHO.
