How much car do you need? With a heavy E-450 C motorhome I found a big improvement in towing ease (handling more than acceleration) by downsizing from a 3600 pound compact pickup to a 2600 pound subcompact hatchback. I think the lightest thing that meets your transportation needs is your best tow.
In my experience, the dinghy tow matters little to MPG. It matters a lot for getting around (whatever it is, you can't back up or parallel park) and the weight has an impact on motorhome handling, at least with 9,000-12,000 pound C's hauling 2500-6000 pound toads. Guys with the 40,000 pound motorcoaches might say "can't feel it back there" but with a C, you'll feel it, or else as a driver you are numb.
