I keep mine on permanently under my fat THule box. Since we drive mostly in the city, it doesn`t really affect our mpg (or I should say litres per hundred kilometre!). I am sure that I pay a small price on the highway because of the Thule, but not because of the cross bars... I do get a bit of noise at 130 km/h, but then should I be driving that fast with a box and a car full of kids. Let's call it my external speed warning indicator.
I wish I could prove it, but you probably hurt your mileage more by driving with the sunroof open and the windows open than you would with the cross bars.
Cheers,
