Why an automatic device would be good (just been doing some googling and honda have them and they close at high speeds). In fact it would be interesting to log the underbonnet temp. I suspect at motorway speeds it's lower than when crawling around town, if this is true you can afford to close off a lot of the grill at speed (which is when you get the drag benefits).
