I expect dropping in a more efficient, modern drivetrain would be a cheaper and better alternative to a gasoline-electric system, too.

A best-case scenario would probably be to find a small diesel that you can bolt onto your existing transmission, and if you're feeling particularly adventurous, an auto -> manual conversion with taller gearing.
