Has anyone else put a kayak rack on their Yaris Sedan?
I recently put a Yakima Kayak Rack (I take 2 to the river) on top of my 09 Yaris Sedan and I've noticed an approx 10% reduction in MPG (from an avg of 38-39 to 35).
The rack is low profile but I guess the drag is cutting down on my mpg's. Still very happy though...Our 07 is averaging 38-39 after 31,000 miles (with a high of 49.1 and a low of 33.2) The 09 only has 1700 miles on her and the 2 kayaks weigh about 100 lbs when loaded on top. Thanks for any feedback...hope everyone on this great site is doing well. |
