Some random 4-cyl Diesel would be a nice powerplant for such project. There are a handful of Rangers and S10s converted to Diesel powered by Yanmar TNV88 engines out of refrigerator units, which are relatively cheap and efficient.

Not sure if that would be so good regarding mileage. Suzuki mini SUVs are too low-geared, and the engines would take a load factor way higher than what they were designed for.
