I bet the roof bars make a decent difference. I remember back in the good old days back when gas was like $1 a gallon, I took the crossbars off my 6000 wagon. Not for fuel savings, but because I hated cleaning off the snow that would accumulate between them. I could actually feel the difference in decrease in drag. I put them back on for the next summer.
