I looked at several bike rack options 2 years ago when I was going on a long trip in the prius. I opted for the Saris Barebones hatchback mounted rack. I removed the wheels and given all the other variables of the trip (loaded down car and two dogs) I didn't notice an mpg impact. I was still getting around 48 mpgs on the highway.
