How long have you owned the Thule Terrapin, any noise, rattles. from it? I have a Thule roof box but I'm not too keen on the wind noise, although it is not too much considering the size. Have not tried it yet on the X so no idea on gas either.
Anyone interested in Non-Oxy gas I just found this site:
Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada |
Sorry for the delayed response.
Terrapin doesn't rattle at all. It locks in place with a unique, threaded locking pin. Really holds it in place. Not one rattle during my cross country drive from Vegas to DC and back in 2010. No rattles (or noise) at all. No effect on mileage other than weight effects. License plate light attachment is fragile and positioned poorly. If you tilt the box all the way back the attachment breaks. Ugh. Otherwise a fantastic product.
