When the roof rack of the vehicle is not used, is it advisable to remove it?
The vehicle's roof rack, whether empty or loaded, increases the vehicle's fuel consumption by 2% to 35%. For this reason, if you aren't going to use it, it is a good idea to remove it until the next time you need it. The same goes for ski and bike racks, because all of these worsen the vehicle's aerodynamics, and consume more fuel as a result.
