Fitted alum canopy with roofrack and cruise control to my hilux before my roadtrip.
But find my hilux heavier on fuel on the open road@120km/h than town driving.
Can this roofrack make a diff in my fuel consumption?

Jip I also experience it.I founded that it was a little lighter on fuel when I packed stuff on the roof rack.I am not sure why.
