Would larger tires hurt mpg's

I have a 1992 Honda Civic VX and I recently was given some P185/65R14 tires and rims. It appears the tires overall diameter is very close to six percent larger.
So my speedometer reads slow and the odometer reads slow and the engine also turns over slower. With the VX geared so high already, would the fuel economy be affected?
