Default weight and Gas MPG?

how much weight can you put in a truck (4.6 engine) before you see a drop on gas MPG?

I an not just talking about in the back, This is including passengers

My truck can sit 6 (yeah Right) and if you figure each person's weight is about 230 LBS you are talking about adding over 1300 LBS.
