tell me its a bhg

Yes, but the energy the alternator needs to resupply voltage in the battery is much lower than the energy required to operate the fan clutch. Gas mileage difference is hardly noticeable if at all,...

electric is the way to go!
It doesn't take rocket science to figure out that electrical energy can be obtained much more efficiently than mechanical energy (ok, but does take a little bit of physics). Electric fans is the way...

a considerable amount
Yes, it does screw with the idle, but I also run 30 amp electric fans which when I turn on gets the idle back to ~700 rpm. Also, it does settle down by itself anyway. As far as power, I was surprised...

I forgot, it boils after you turn off the car because there's no more air flowing onto the engine nor is there coolant flow, so the coolant (and engine as well) heats up. A minute after turning the...
