Yeah, trailers behind a car are OK for light loads on nice (sub)urban roads, not so good other places.
Besides, I have to question the numbers. I think I do better having a really light, fuel-efficient car (Insight) with essentially zero towing capability plus a truck for occasional loads, than I would having to drive a larger car that'd have significant towing capacity, when I'm not towing anything at least 95% of the time.
