Tire question

I have a 2000 F-250 7.3 4x4 with 235/85/16 cooper h/t's on it. It gets around 20 mpg right now. If i put on 285/70/16 mud terrains, how bad will it hurt my mpg's?

It will go down some. Tire weight does play a factor as well. And the M/T is going to be on the heavier side compared to the same size tire in an A/T. However I'm running 285s on my 01 and on the highway get 16-17 normally.
