I had my TH for several months before I got Roof Rack put on.. Mileage was essentially the same. Go figure.

honestly it blew my mind. i instantly saw an increase in gas mileage and an extra 100kms of range the day after i removed the rack. city mileage was not really affected much. maybe 10% at best. but the numbers i got in my post are real numbers. no change in cargo (if anything lightened my load since the wife was not with me)
at 100kmh, i was getting 16-17L / 100km on highway. consistently, in eco mode.
with no rack travelling 110 (speed limit) i was getting anywhere frm 10-11.5L/100km

same route. same destination. same cargo (minus the wife and shes only 130lbs)
I go and look at wind speed plus wind direction if what changes is not obvious to me.
