Engine fan on when standing still and low mpg 2002 yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

So, I bought a pretty old 2002 yaris with 60k miles. I checked out everthing, the drive oils etc.

But I have since found out that the engine cooling fan comes on while sitting still in just 68d outside, in comparison my friends clio fan has only comes on rarely when it is very hot.

The fan rarely runs when the car is driving but surely such a small car shouldnt require cooling when standing still in these fairly low temperatures.

Mpg seems to hang around 30 which seems low even around the city, so this makes me wonder whether these two things are related and are there any checks to diagnose any problem?

Thanks.
