most 60e's seem to die behind it, but some live for awhile
gas wont be worse, should be better with less effort to get it rolling

4L80-E if you can afford it and get it swapped out. I would think a built 4L60-E would be fine though...

I would go to at minimum 4.10's with those tires. As far as performance the tires are killing you.
