subject: Remove front spoiler?

Ok, I have one to throw out there.  I have a 2012 Ford Escape (Mazda
Tribute). It has gotten me through some rough winters and has some generous
ground clearance.  I have Firestone Destination A/T tires on it which are
fairly decent offroad, in the wet and in deep snow.  My problem is the stupid
front spoiler really gets in the way of everything. I hit a snowplowed drift
with it and pulled it loose and secured it better.  I drove through a small
flood a few weeks ago in New Bedford MA (4 inches of rain that day) and
worked it loose again.  So, does it really give any MPG advantage to have it
in place and does it really increase cooling to the engine?  I would just
like to remove it and put a bull bar on the front to hold of couple of
aftermarket lights.  Ground clearance would be more than excellent then!
