We had the Thule Frontier- it's one of the small, long ones for ski's. It held a good amount, but killed the gas mileage. We were moving cross country from California to Virginia, and we have two 9-5's, a sedan and a wagon, both 2.3 lpt manuals. The sedan got well over 30 mpg, while the wagon was in the low 20's.
Arranging it on the roof was a challenge. Because of the way the hatch opens you have to put it pretty far forward, and that meant for us putting one of the crossbars as far forward as possible.
On the speed thing, we had it full of very lightweight stuff and were doing highway driving. 80-85 was no problem.
