The flat stock rail won't affect your mileage. Now on the other hand, if you mount a THULE M.O.A.B. up there
and decide it looks cool, as "one" L.O.S.T. member did *AHEM* 
, then drive around, you'll notice about a 2 mpg loss

Considering the vehicle has the aerodynamics of brick, the roof rack shouldn't make a huge impact. |

I have Thule Aero crossbars. Alone they make no noticeable difference. Actually attach something to them, well that is a different equation. |
