Just having the side rails will hurt your FE. It may not be enough to notice, but I have a gut feeling that it will. Having the cross-bars on will hurt even more. Having the air dam on will probably mitigate that impact to some extent, but likely the MPG will be worse than without any roof rack at all.

The only way to quantify things, though, is to try with and without.
