Nope, too many variables. People can only reply with what they have found, with their particular build and driving conditions and driving style - which could be completely different from yours.
But, with a 3" lift and 35's you might expect to lose 2-4mpg. Or more. Or less. If you regear, you should gain a little of it back. And if you don't bother to reprogram, you will think you lost a bit more.
btw, that is more lift than you need for 35's, and definitely more than is needed for 33's.
