One way I could see bugs (or mud) significantly affecting aerodynamic performance is if the vehicle is designed to preserve laminar flow along its whole length. Think smooth, seamless HPV speed racers, most solar race vehicles, gliders.
Regular road-going cars don't have laminar flow much beyond the nose.
