I too had noticed the drop in gas mileage with the roof rack on. I decided
to buy a little motorcycle trailer for the things I don't want in the van.
After traveling around on a few lengthy trips I noticed the gas mileage
actually went up. I think the trailer breaks up the air behind the van and
gives it a cleaner air line. Kind of takes away the vacuum that's created
behind the square back. Just my opinion. Others mileage may vary
