RE: 14.4 volts on the headlamps

>And as I said, the Fan load is proportional the SQUARE of the speed,

This is true for a centrifugal blower, which the cooling fan is not.
 
>therefore a small speed reduction gives a GREATER current reduction,

With a DC brush motor, it's much more complicated than that. It depends on
the power curve's shape, and where on the curve operation is occuring.

>but on the freeway, or on cooler days, the fan hardly every runs anyhow.

Mine runs too much; in the spring I'm gonna get me one o'them spiffy S-car
fans.
