I think the drag is noticeable at very slow speed on an unloaded wheel but does that drag stay constant or increase with speed and load? I'm betting it is always the same otherwise your brakes would be burning after a freeway run and they aren't. That little bit of drag you can feel with the wheel jacked up at slow speeds probably doesn't amount to anything measurable economy wise.
