Electric Fans?

Anybody of you have electric fans? Are they worth the upgrade and are they reliable? I'm thinking of buying some for my car, as they are rumored to bump gas mileage. Also, is single or dual fans better? Thanks

This is really a common sense question...
I do have a Single electric fan, with Low and High settings (Factory).
Yes it is better on fuel, less rotating mass on the engine...
Of course they are reliable, if they weren't reliable all the major car companies ex.(GM, Ford, Dodge, Honda, Etc...) wouldn't use them.
I personally wouldn't say DUAL isn't any better then a large Single... If anything the large single would be better, since when that sucker is on High it is sucking a lot more air then the little guy on high.
The dual = 1 is low speed, and the 2nd is high...
Either or both do there jobs

Go with the dual. They are better but cost a little more normally. And yes they will make a difference. I personally do not have them but i have a couple buddies who do and they also keep trying to talk me into it. However i have other mods on my mind.
