Waxing the vehicle for better MPG

Our major goal is to get better mpg. Some solutions are expensive for the results produced some are low cost to no cost such as adding more PSI to tires. Well how about keeping your vehicle waxed? From my past flying experience a waxed small plane would go three percent or so faster if is waxed or a very slight reduction in power for the same speed. It seems to me even if the change in a waxed vehicle is 1 or 2 percent increase in MPG this would be inexpensive and useful to accomplish any thoughts.
