Don't get me wrong mate, not saying they NEED to be close, but i think it definitely helps improve air flow through the rad. The larger the gap the larger the pressure drop. (im using the term pressure loosely).
TBH though, the cooling systems ability to cool should be at its peak on the motorway, how much does your car over heat Roger? Could it be the thermostat closing because the coolant temp has dropped? maybe a slightly sticky stat....?
