Some people will swear by having a toad, some people swear AT the toad.
I'm in the later group, the PITA of having that thing back there, never mind the cost, is well worth skipping it in favour of better cheaper alternatives in MY case, YMMV.
as an example, for me on a trip to Florida (I towed a friends car on a dolly as a favour) it took about 1.2 mpg extra to drag the car (Honda Civic) along. I get almost exactly 8 mpg with no toad. I got 6.8 mpg pulling his car.

It just (in my case) makes ZERO sense.
