Saris Thelma for Prius
I had a roof top Thule on my '07 Prius and just the rack, without bikes, cut my gas mileage by 10%. With two bikes on top mpg plummeted. They really screw up the aerodynamics.
I now have a Saris Thelma used with a hitch. The Thelma allows me to open the hatch with a bike on it or with the Thelma folded.
Also it holds the bike by the wheels rather than the frame so I can carry road, mtn or kids bikes.
Check it out, it works great.
Actually when I am only carrying one bike, I take the front wheel off and with the rear seats down the bike fits perfectly.
