Default RRC light bar killing my mileage?

I added the light bar and 5 KC's and I have lost 2 mpg? I am going to check some more stuff, but has anyone else seen this?

I got the same effect when I added my Gobi rack.

This truly sucks, I drive 40 miles each way to work every day. To tal it up, it costs me 400 bucks a year just to have this thing hanging out. I am going to test for a couple of weeks to verify and if this is the case, it will be sold!

I put a light bar and some big light on a truck and I thought I was pulling a parachute around.
