Default Electric fans MPG results???

Anyone have before and after results? I want to do them, but I want to see what people are actually getting with them.

i dont think you really gain any mpg just by doing efans.. i havent noticed any gain in my mpg with just fans..if anything i felt a little more power in the low end on take in the summer time with the efans over the belt driven fan

Along with the others, I don't think there will be that big of a diff on the mpg. You will be able to tell the diff how much easier the truck drives. You've lessened the strain on the engine for the clutch fan. Another thing to add, if you haven't done it already is CAI.
