All you're doing here, mate is spending money to accomplish........nothing.....
except spending more money.
Why can't I worry about both? All I am trying to do is protect my bike. No diddly... I am very well aware that adding something to the roof of your car will create less gas mileage, but it is the only way I have to transport my bike at the moment.
The way I see it is I am spending money to protect my investment from various bits of road debris (not just bugs). Somebody let me know the advantages of slapping my bike up there and driving 75 mph for 4 hours straight. If the positives out weigh the negatives here, I will be happy to transport my bike "topless".
