Went to EPA.Gov to compare...
Base Cooper-25/33-28 average
Base Yaris-29/36-32 average
Now I only would be interested in the S or John Works and this is where things really got interesting.
Cooper S- 26/34-29
Cooper John Works-25/33-28
Clubman S-26/34-29
I am honestly shocked the performance Mini's have the same/better MPG than the base Mini. It really surprised me.

Yeah, I like MINIs too and have found that interesting.
I think with engines that small, a well-managed turbo helps. Plus, doesn't the turbo version have variable-valve timing? I don't think the NA 1.6 employs any sort of variable-valve technology.
