Waxing for speed has been done extensively in the flying and racing world.

Airflow on a car isn't nearly as clean, and most of us aren't driving at flying speeds, but you can likely expect a minor positive effect from waxing a car.
Wether you'll see it in day-to-day variations, remains to be seen though.

Even if it doesn't improve your mileage much, you can at least do those miles in style
