ehh having boards on top might not cause much draft or extra weight...adding two mtn bikes up top will def hurt the mileage...they probably weigh 30 lbs each, and they sit high up..so that might be why ur not getting AS bad as us...i notice a huge difference when i drive on interstate with bikes up there...sometimes i wonder if my car will make it up hills haha...

on a side note...have u put any bikes up there yet forte?? wasn't sure how loud it was without having the wind fairing yet.

Nah, no bikes yet, but boy, the noise is ridiculous already. I just cruise at 30mph it sounds like a big sub woofer on top of my car.

u gotta get that fairing... its main purpose is to stop that wind noise... and to raise fuel economy... look for the 65mm fairing... thats the one i have... good luck finding it tho cuz it has been discontinued for YEARS now... especially for THULE.... search ebay.. they come once in a while

I can respect the fact that people find it appealing to put roof racks on a sedan for the utility of it. But I just think it takes away from the profile so much.. .
