Same here. I like to improve my car's fuel economy, but not at the risk of wrecking the car. IMO that's a false economy. If you do a lot of city driving, backing in & out of parking spots, etc then having usable side mirrors is a must.
That said, I'm currently testing motorcycle mirrors on the Prius. They're about half the size of the stock mirrors. So the drag reduction should be similar to deleting one of the stock mirrors. But I won't lose a mirror. IMO that's the best compromise between drag reduction and safety, for my driving conditions.
