I would not be thinking about brakes killing gas mileage in that situation, a spinning wheel is even less efficient because less of the engines power is making it to the ground! More traction = better gas mileage.
A true lockable diff would be better, because the wheel with less traction is fully speed limited and if the other wheel does have traction, the slipping wheel can never slip very much. I'm kind of glad I have a Torsen after going to an autocross and realizing how much more control I had over the rear end via throttle.
