No noticed mpg loss when driving, the front bar has spoilers on the roof side to stop whistling. The cargo basket howls at speeds above 50 when empty.

I bought them on Amazon fo~$200.

No real loss with just crossbars, I have Thule Aeroblades. However racks like the universal pull top I will loose 2-3 MPGs though noise somewhat alleviated with use of a fairing
