coolant...?

What type of coolant would be good to use that would cool better than antifreeze since i'm not worried about it freezing at this point and time of the year. I'm having some issues with it cooling. My fan likes to kick on a lot even though its full of fluid. Temp in Alabama is from 95 to 100 right now and I need to keep this thing cool so the heat doesn't rob my engines power. I know this sounds crazy but I've thought about getting a 180 degree termo-stat but i don't want the decrease in MPG. What do I do, anything???? Please help :brickwall

Rather than start a new thread I figured I'd reply to this one...

What coolant is safe to run in our Jeeps, especially the early ZJ's? I have a tough time finding anything other than yellow "long life, compatable with all brands" coolant these days (unless I want odd-name recycled green stuff or Dexcool, which I don't.). Local forums say to use pretty much anything but Dexcool, newsgroups say to only use specific DC stuff else risk damage to just about everything. I have two '93's here that need coolant changes, any advise?
