Does fitting a roof rack on the vehicle affect fuel consumption?

Correct answer

Yes, it increases it

Yes, a roof rack adds aerodynamic drag, especially when carrying luggage. The increase in fuel consumption depends on speed, design and load; there is no single percentage applicable to every vehicle. Remove it when no longer needed, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
