How does mass of load in a car affect car performance?

In general, the more mass you have to move, the more energy will be required to do so. The engine will have to work harder, which uses more gasoline. Also affected will be the car's handling characteristics, especially in emergency maneuvers. The car will respond more slowly and take longer to recover from changes in direction. If the load in the car is not secured, and moves around when the car shifts direction, this can suddenly change the center of mass in the vehicle and result in unpredictable, sudden changes in the car's handling characteristics.
