Not sure if people did a test on this or not. I would fix the clutch and then worry about mpg. I am sure a locked fan clutch would lessen your mpg.

I'm Leaving On A 2000 Mile Round Trip And I Was Wondering What Kind Of An Improvment I Can Expect. To Tell Ya The Truth I'm Actually Pretty Excited To Find It Was Bad, I Was Hoping 12 Mpg Wasn't All I Could Get.

I would definitely change it before that trip. You should get much better without all that drag on the engine.
