I suspect this isn't accurate. When you switch tire sizes it means the speedometer/odometer loses a certain % accuracy. Say it's 2%, when you drive 100km the odometer might only read that you'd traveled 98km. This will obviously affect your mileage calculations. I believe it can be fixed by having this stuff calibrated.

Of course you are probably losing some economy by having a larger tire, but not by that much.
