I'm in the market for a roof rack for a canoe. I'd appreciate it if we could get some roof rack pictures up as well as any relevant information that's going to help me out. Show me your rack.

I had a buddy that said his rack would decrease hit mpg like 2-3 miles. Has anyone found this to be true?

With a bike on it yes. I really dont notice much difference around town though.

I find it decreases by about 1mph with a fairing, more without, and 2-3mph with a bike or two on it.

The first time I saw it, I thought, "shouldn't that be in TCT?"

Do you mean mpg?
I'm probably going to get a prorack http://www.prorack-international.com/ go to the website and it will show what it looks on the car
not too sure if its avail in your area.
the thule ones sit upright far too much for my liking. the prorack one also utilises the gutter mounting points, unlike some others where they have a strap or rubber pad (which can rub against the paintwork)
only wish the prorack came in black however

I dont think we have the threaded mounting points under our gutters. At least there is no cut away that I have seen like on other cars that are meant to be mounted that way.
We have the threads for them. The canadian models have the rain gutters with the slids in them already. I dont understand why we didn't just get the same rain gutters.

I have the Thule rack with the FIX-POINTS installed.
You have to take off the aluminum rain gutter, mark where the fix points are, then use a dremel and cut a hole in the gutter just big enough for the screw from the Thule piece, to go through the rain gutter and into the car.
Some photos that have on my computer.

Did you have to sort out the mounting on your own, or did Thule provide instructions for how/where to drill? I much prefer the look of these towers and have been wondering about how this system mounts on our cars.I have the Thule rack with the FIX-POINTS installed.
