We know that it's at least possible to make a trailer that improves economy- I've never seen that with any roof mounted accessory.

In 2013 HHOTDI moved his CVT from the rooftop to a hitch mount, and confounding all expectation
excepting mine, he gained mpg over a slick top.

I just returned home from a 770 mile round trip to Portland, lake Oswego and home! I returned home late last night and checked the hard mileage and found 770 miles, 15.6 gallons netted 49.3MPG! So as Freebeard suggested, what will we do if the mileage goes up?!?
Beetle w/o any attachments/slick top= ave 48mpg :{)
Beetle with factory VW Roof racks and CVT tent= 38mpg :/
Beetle with new areo-hitch mounted rack/CVT tent= 49.3MPG WhoooRah!
That is a gain of 11.3 mpg boys and girls!
