    Anyone have any opinion on how the accessories affect fuel economy? I'm wondering how things such as mud guards may change the numbers. Thanks.

    mud flaps show no measurable impact. The rear spoiler from BT tech seems to give a tiny impact. Electronics maybe a tiny but likely unmeasurable impact.

    Kayak on roof rack....big, obviously.
