I went to my brothers house this weekend, 150 mile trip from NY to Ct up and over the Berkshires have done this trip many times, my 99 9-5 with Aero turbo and trionic unit at 230hp, consistantly will get 30.5 - 31 mpg on the SID, this is the first trip I have taken with mine and my daughters bike on the the roof. Thule racks with wind deflector and stand-up attachments traveling approx 74mph with cruise set..........the best I got from the SID was 24.5mpg "WTF"! That's about a 20% decrease! Is this normal? Has anyone else seen this kind of decrease? I expected some decrease but not that much! Any thoughts?
