Yeah, that's a lot of drag added on the highway. You can literally hear the MPG's dropping. Sometimes I wonder what TFL thinks is going to happen when they do videos like this.

It's plainly obvious that if you add a flat vertical surface to the top of any vehicle the MPG's are going to go down. In other news, the sky is blue, the sun is bright and the ocean is filled with water.

Yeah, I guess I was just eye-rolling the feigned surprise at the end of the video that they lost "only" 13% fuel economy. That's not an insignificant amount.

Of course its obvious. Thats not the point of these tests.

The point is to determine how much it drops and how that compares to other vehicles.

I beg to differ. The point of the video, its length, content, and dragging out of the most crucial bit of info there is only to increase the monetizing of the video on YouTube.

Otherwise 30 seconds could have covered this.
