[quote=[Deleted User];67706263]Have you any real evidence that it's lowering your MPG?[/QUOTE]
yes it does, I have the same car and I had the rack on and rack off on the motorway, it definately reduces 1-2mpg on the motorway.
It's not big so you might not think so but the racks aren't aerodynamic and cause quote a lot of messy drag.0 -
