I will be moving from Dallas, TX to Asheville, NC (1000 miles) with my Fiancee at the beginning of June. We do not have very much to move as we currently live in a 1 br apartment. We have 2 cars, so 1 will need to be towed by the moving truck.

Which brings me to my main question: Should I go with the Diesel moving truck?

The Diesel trucks are much bigger which means it will mostly be empty, but I am also considering the effects of towing a vehicle behind the truck. Vehicle 1 is a 1997 Toyota Corolla (2400 lbs). Vehicle 2 is a 2003 Honda Accord (3000 lbs).

The rental cost of the diesel is very close to the cost of the smaller gas trucks. Will a large empty diesel truck get better or worse mileage than a small gas truck? (When towing a car)
