17 inch wheels

I was using 3% oversize tyres on 15" rims before and was getting good MPG but Auckland has a really wet winter. I actually put in 17" work wheels with Federal Supersport tyres and of course the MPG dropped. Is there a way to ecomod with the use of 17 inch wheels?

I know Bridgestone Ecopias have 215/45R17 tyres but do they really aid in MPG gains? I'm not really sure if I should give these Ecopias a go.
