jeep is on a distinguished road
The lighter the wheel better the fuel economy. So if the 21"weels+tire is less in weight than the 20" you will get better fuel economy.

I am not sure if the speed will change because you will probably compensate for the increased wheel diameter with a tire with lower profile. Technically, if the wheel+tire diameter is bigger then the speed will be higher (your speedo and odometer will be shot though and will show lower speed and distance respectively)
