Turning Brake Rotors

Does anyone know how much drag hydraulic disk brakes create?

The break pad doesn't come completely off the disk when you aren't pressing the brakes so you get a little drag.

Worse off on my car the brake rotor is radially pretty uneven (not unbalanced) but I hesitate to get them turned and put new brake pads on them because I don't have any braking issues and the pads still have enough meat in them to probably last for the remaining life in the car.

But I might be able to justify the work if it improves mpg.
