Comment

The loading of the roof consumes significantly more fuel. The reason is that not the weight, but especially the headwind, affects consumption the most. Due to the additional loading of the roof, the side wind attacks an even larger area. This increases the side wind sensitivity. In addition, the focus of the vehicle shifts upwards. As a result, the vehicle tends to be aside in curves.
