Depends on your goal.
If saving fuel is the true #1 goal then you will select the most economical vehicle that has the capacity to meet your hauling needs AND you will operate and mod it for max fe AND you will seek to not even use that as much as possible, by walking, biking, trip combining, whatever it takes.
What you won't do is waste time and effort trying to make a sow into a sipper.
If you're just into the challenge of modding, that will work on anything. It's better than nothing anyway.
If you're into the bottom line moneywise, what you choose to do all depends on what your starting point is, how resourceful you are, and what you find.
Having said that, I believe it is possible for any and everyone that wants to, to have and afford to have a vehicle that does what they need and gets 30 mpg +; even if it means adding another vehicle to their fleet.
