Reason I'm so curious is because i'm coming from a '99 saturn sl1. Before i put the rack on, i was getting 38mpg and after it was around 32-33mpg. I would be happy with 35-36mpg with it on the fit.
Also I haven't heard much,if any, wind noise from my rack with it on the saturn. It was pretty much silent unless a strap from the kayak was loose and vibrating.
The bikes aren't to much of a problem. I know Saris makes a few "trunk" style bike racks and the hitch mount is always an option. As long as they don't go in the car because my bikes are ALWAYS dirty. I know my kayak will fit in the Fit but i don't really want to get it all wet inside either. So i'd either put the rack on and bit the mpg decrease or have to bring a tarp every time i bring a kayak.
I think i'm going to order the clips and see how it is first hand. If i don't like it, i can always sell it.
