Re: Need help to get more MPG out of FJC?.

I hate to say it because they are so cool; if you are not using your rack, take it off... Weight and air resistance is the MPG killer.

Oh yea, don't cary around your golf clubs...
That would be my suggestion as well if you really want to get some additional mpg - do a seach - oem roof racks have been reported to decrease performance 1-2 mpg. I've seen other posts that report as much as 2-3 mpg lost for aftermarket roof racks or adding additional attachments or items to the oem roof rack.
