Carrying Bikes - Most Efficient Method

I'm just interested in people's thoughts on the most efficient ways of carrying bicycles on a car (aside from having them inside of course).

I used to have a roof mounted system in my previous cars and on the motorway it was like a huge spolier and noticably slowed the car down and increased consumption.

I used my towbar based system for the first time last weekend and must say I didn't notice it slowing the car down with the bikes hidden at the rear of the car however I understand that the rear part of a car does affect drag so I expect it would make some (albeit small) increases in consumption?
