Correct answer
- CSí, por lo que hay que utilizar la baca como última opción.Yes, so the roof rack should be used as a last option.
Explanation
Yes. The way the load is distributed affects consumption: a roof rack increases air resistance and raises the centre of gravity. That is why the load should go in the boot and the roof rack should be used only as a last resort.
