Put the 82º in yesterday, yanked it out this evening. The fan ran most all the time in the afternoon Any slight uphill on the freeway or while running at low speeds on surface streets. No savings there if the alternator is having to carry a 12+ amp load to run the fan.

The '92 is back in for now 'till I can get time to wire in the Saab 2 level switch, I'm afraid now that the 85º low speed setting is going to be a little low.

I'll also do a fillup after slightly over 200 miles tomorrow, I haven't seen over 21 mpg in town for years and I've been dirving it hard with the AC on so this will be a short but valid test.
We'll let you know.
Cheers
