Re: better mpg?
I have a defender rack w/o a fairing and I get some wind noise (not bad kind of runmble) above 65 mph so I know there is some drag. I haven't really compared the mileage lately.
I should make a fairing for the front of the rack and that might help with mpg and wind noise.
Yakima, Thule and teh Xterra rack s have fairings.
The rack is kind of hard to take off so I'll leave it on for a while.
