Re: Streamlining...
Now, should I pull out the candidate I don't like, or the one I do like, to help advertise with the name facing out?

Page 82-84 in the owners manual if you have the second edition or pages 79-81 if you have the first.
Mine and others had red Loctite on the thumbwheel and are very stubborn the first time you remove them. They should be removed, cleaned, and lubricated before reinstalling (if you have the time).

Most people already remove the cross rails of the roofrack. That is a common one and I think ford's documentation even spells out the MPG "costs". They even give MPG estimates for running headlights, listening to the radio, etc. Based on that info, it makes sense to drive with no radio, during the day so you don't need headlights or dash lights!
Here is a recent post that outlines these "hits":

Wow, why did you buy the 'brick' in the first place and not say a Prius? I think you're barking up the wrong 'vehicle' if you want great mpg! Myself, I'm just happy it does somewhat better than most small SUV's.

Re: Streamlining...
When people ask about the MPG in my Insight, I say it gets about 75 MPG. ( which it does after it is warmed up )
The common response?
"Wow! That's better than most cars!"
My response:
It's better than all cars as far as I know!
