I've got one of the big Thule boxes. Before I started hypermiling it cost me about 1 mpg, dropping me to about 21 mpg on a long trip. Today it would probably cost me a lot more. Maybe some day when I've got nothing at all to do, I can do some A-B-C coast down testing, measuring car speed at the mile marker signs. What's more likely is I'll put it on and take it to work for a couple of days. A, B and C will be on three different days, but my commute is pretty consistent.
