I drive an 07 ranger 4cylinder 2.3 liter, I usually get about 22.5 mpg, I'm driving 750 miles with a motorcycle in my bed, it weight 530 pounds, how much will it affect my gas mileage?

Freightrain has a good reputation on FTE.

Depends on the terrain. If flatland, likely not much. If you do alot of hills, then you'll be working it harder and thus using more gas.
