Guys busting your balls about your unscientific method of stating that your rack doesn't cause a significant MPG decrease. Come on guys, really!!! If you don't need the rack then who cares? If you do actually need a roof rack, well you shouldn't be too concerned about .5 MPG loss. Forums are great, but sometimes people crack me up. Thanks for taking the time to help Mr. Whitson, I appreciate your effort.
