At highway speeds, more than 50
percent of engine power goes to overcoming aerodynamic drag. So don't carry
things on top of your vehicle when you don't have to. Installing a large Thule
Cascade 1700 car-top carrier on our Camry dropped its gas mileage from 35 mpg to
29 at 65 mph. Even driving with empty racks on the car reduces its fuel economy.
