i dont see how a grill block will cause the mechanical fan to work harder. it's tied into the belt system, so as the engine revs faster, the fan turns faster. if you dont mind a very involved modding, what you can do is replace the mechanical fan with an electric one from a Taurus/Sable. there's a post on that somewhere here. it wont be automatic, so you have to turn it on manually, or have settings which you will self adjust.
to your drag issue, could it be that your aero mods are causing more drag?
its kinda odd, ive been feeling alot of struggle on the highway on my windstar. i dont know why but it seems i get worse mileage then i do in the city. also my cars have multiple drivers and i am the more hypermiller of the rest.
