One of the first IGs in Australia is getting 12lt/100 with 1200klms on the motor driving at 115kms/hr. No doubt it will loosen up in time

I travelled 180 miles today in my diesel Trialmaster with 800 miles on the clock as I set off.
The first 90 miles with no roof-rack
The return 90 with the factory roof-rack fitted.
90% highway driving @ 70 mph
According to the onboard metrics it managed 23.3 mpg (uk) without the roof-rack, dropping to 20.7 mpg (uk) with the roof-rack fitted. Plus a LOT more wind noise.

Would a fairing work to streamline it and diminish the sound, such as a Rhino Rack fairing that fits?:

I'm averaging between 20 & 22 UK MPG in my petrol on E10 - mix of B roads and local travel - school run etc. 1400 miles in

I've noticed once you go over 65mph on the motorway the aerodynamics keep you in that 20 to 22 MPG range - I'd say 50 to 60 mph cruising is the most efficient but what's the fun in that.

Personally I just fill it up and try not to look! But I knew it would be like this so no point even looking

So is there a captive nut on the outside face of the leg?

Is that the type of edge protector that contains metal hoops?
