When I have people in the car I think the distraction of conversing with them affects the mileage more than the weight. This observation is reinforced as when I have carried objects and my mileage does not drop by much, and most of that is due to missing judging EOC points and needing more brakes. Also the my assumption is that the first half and second half likely are different types of driving.
