Default Loss of mpg with cargo carrier

Just picked up a sears x cargo x20 carrier for my road trip this weekend. I'm curious as to those of you with cargo carriers how bad did your mileage fall?

I get about 22 mpg on trips loaded like the griswolds, turtle on top and 4 bikes on hitch mount yakima, . Without I get maybe 23 mpg , rx is like a brick aero wise and cargo box barely makes a difference, flat midwestern highways
