Yes thinner oils should technically help with gas mileage, less drag with the thinner oil. I cant imagine though that the effect would be measurable, unless you are talking about VERY precise measurements.
I've also heard of professional race teams running with an absolute minimum fluid level in the rear diff, specifically for the lower level or resistance. Though in their case, they are looking to shave off 10ths, or 100ths of seconds.
