I don't know what is so funny, it can.
Granted, it might not be so huge on a 12v. But they put all that time and money into designing things like the Enzo and Carrera GT, then you thinking slapping some roof bars on won't make a difference?!

Specialized Demo 7. As in freeride bike with 7 inches of travel and such?
No, far from it. Dad's Klein Attitude Race is a light bike!

of course it makes a difference, only very slightly though, anything on your roof disturbs the air, like having your windows open affects the car and can increase consumption by 10%
