Default electric is the way to go!

It doesn't take rocket science to figure out that electrical energy can be obtained much more efficiently than mechanical energy (ok, but does take a little bit of physics). Electric fans is the way to go. It is much more efficient to power a motor via an electric current than a mechanism. Electric fans will get you more air flow with a lower energy requirement. It will take this energy from your battery instead of your gas, so be sure to have a good battery. And you don't need to be an electrical engineer to install them. The circuits are not complicated (reading instructions SOMETIMES helps).
