That is simply not true. The larger diameter of the bigger wheels/tires causes the odometer to read lower, but the actual change to your mpg is not going to be significant. It may appear to be lower if you are reading the number straight off the odometer without accounting for the difference in tire diameter.
It is true that low profile tires for 18" wheels are more expensive than they would be for 17"s, and there are a limited number of manufacturers that make them in the correct sizes for a prelude.
