Correct answer
- BSí, porque sin la baca se ahorra combustible.Yes, because without the roof rack you save fuel.
Explanation
An empty roof rack increases the vehicle's aerodynamic drag and, with it, fuel consumption and noise. So if you are not going to use it, it is advisable to remove it; it does not improve the car's stability.
