but the electric fans only draw power when their thermostat says that coolent in the radiator is over Xdegrees. otherwise no power is used.
free spinning or not (and mine is not very free spinning right now) i would think that more energy is used in a mechanical fan than an electric fan.
this would apply to highway driving, the inverse would be true for city driving i think.

but than again are there any vehicles with out a waterpump/fan that are not front wheel drive?
