The light-duty diesels are becoming irrelevant with the performance of modern direct injection turbo gas engines. They're getting similar mileage and have lower fuel costs. Plus none of the added complexities of a diesel.
That said, I'm sure the mileage when towing would be better with a small diesel.
In my opinion the options are a heavy duty diesel ¾ ton or turbo gas ½ ton. Everything else is getting left behind.
