Since someone earlier is this thread was talking about airplanes, I'll add this...
If an airplane has frost on its wings, it will not fly because of the disruption in airflow over the wing.
However, a clean (or even freshly-waxed airplane is no faster than a dirty one. An airplane with dead bugs all over the leading edges is no slower than a clean one.
So I'm not sure keeping a car clean makes any real difference in MPG.
