Thanks Sk and NR...what is surprising to me the most is the fact that the MPG went up so far after moving the whole assembly from the roof racks down to the Aero-Rack. From 48-ish without anything to 38mpg on top then to 49.3 on my 770 mile trip to Portland Ore and back! 11.3 mpg savings...simply incredible! :{)
