Is there a difference in gas mileage between standard cab trucks and king cab trucks?

Lets take the 2.3L Ford Ranger for example since it's known to get the best mileage out of any sized pickup in the US. If one truck was just a standard cab and the other was a king cab, would the king cab do worse on gas since there's more room in the cab? I mean, the extra space really wouldn't add any pull or weight to the engine, right?Is there a difference in gas mileage between standard cab trucks and king cab trucks?
For the Ranger, the EPA fuel economy rating stays the same.



In real driving the supercab will be a little worse than the standard cab with a 6ft bed.



Overall, the Supercab Ranger is a more than a foot longer than the standard cab. That extra metal adds about 400lbs and that will have some impact on economy.Is there a difference in gas mileage between standard cab trucks and king cab trucks?
