I would believe the wider the tire, the higher the rolling resistance AND drag penalty.

I hope for you the added gear reduction and better eco-rating can make up for those penalties (but I wouldn't bet on it).

I would think the tire eco-rating is within its size, not from best to worth.
Otherwise people with big fancy wheel could want some old school 2cv skinny tires ...
