Yes clutch fans are not constantly engaged, thus the power loss from them is small as long as they are not engaged when power is needed the most. Again, we are not talking about a drag car. However, isn't it nice to be able to know for certain at what temp the fans come on? Also being able to shut them off depending on how it's wired and what situation you're in. Clutch fans offer no such choice and fixed fans just plain suck-power and noise wise. Auto manufacturers have not switched to electric fans for the fun of it. They want to squeez every tenth of a mpg they can from their cars. After you get up to 15 miles per hour a fan is not needed-as long as the cooling system is working properly.I really can't understand the posts in favor of a engine driven fan.My 79 f100 with a 5.0 from a 90 gt mustang had a electric fan. It was on about 9 times in 2 1/2 years. All were in traffic for extended periods of time.
