Another idea

I am going to get a Mishimoto fan shroud kit for my car to help improve airflow through the radiators. Not just to help the AC operate more efficiently at low speeds, but also to help the engine cool better in traffic and at low speeds. Even with my Mishimoto radiator, the coolant sometimes heats up to around 210 degrees with both fans running when I am sitting in traffic with the AC on on a very hot day, which I don’t like.

Then there is the question of the extra power the Mishimoto fans would draw would be worth it for MPG. I would say yes, but I’m not certain. I can’t imagine that the Mishimoto fans would draw that much more power than the OEM fans do, but since they would improve airflow and therefore improve the efficiency of the AC system, but I am not certain.
