The only thing that will help your gas mileage is to drive slower. Taller tires means slower acceleration and poorer passing capability which is hardly a plus.
A tire shop can deterimine whether the leak is at the bead or the valve. Sometimes a tire can be reseated on a rim and stop losing air. No need to spend a couple thousand dollars on 19.5 or 20 inch rims and new tires.
Better to start with the tire you need and then work back to the rims that are needed for that tire. With the 19.5 tires there are very few choices in wheel manufacturers and few choices in terms of tire tread.
