The cars I drive (old Citroens) have manual adjusters on the rear drake shoes. You only need to adjust them every 20k or 30k miles.
The brake shoes on our other car (Honda) have auto adjusters and, yes, they will drag a bit here and there. But the drag is sooo small I can't see it causing any measurable loss of MPG. If that's what you are after.
