Has anyone noticed an increase in MPG after deleting the facory roof rack?

Theoretically, it should improve MPG, but I'm wondering if anyone noticed an improvement in the real world.

Stayed the same

yes, confirmed 1 mpg increase when I removed it. But this was on stock tires a while ago.

Possibly 1mpg, probably less on our big square trucks. I have an extra set of small crossbars and only regularly see 21 on the dream-o-meter on road trips. Granted I still got 20 pulling a small trailer 300 miles, I doubt my roof rack would change it much.
