Sometimes, while other parts of the vehicle cause an even greater drag, the mirrors are not that bad of an issue even at a considerably higher speed. But anyway, I don't remember which speed and subsequent increases would increase substantially the performance required to achieve, and thus the fuel-efficiency would go down in the same proportion.
