Whether a citation was issued or not, if they ask for permission to search, is it even possible to make a "friendly" exit before he asks for further questions about having any drugs? Seems to me it would be difficult and insulting to an officer if one knew they were actually free to simply drive away without answering, but is this what you were implying? And, wouldn't he just tend to make another stop if one did so, or notify the boys down the road to watch for you?

    Always ask if you are free to leave. Keep repeating the question. And yes, the boys down the road might stop you, but they must have another traffic violation. And the boys down the road might not stop you so get away from the first cop before worrying about the second.
