Subject:Re: ~2mpg reduction in fuel economy: confirmed when sporting a roof rack.

I was still getting 28-30 mpg (US) with my Thule Classic on the roof until
the left rear suspension decided to no longer have any connection to the
body. 1987 Syncro Westy TDI, 700,000 km. FULL Syncro, none of that goofy
crap or disconnects. VC still working fine, BTW. ;-)
