i got this :
"Another new car that will be making its debut in Geneva is the latest iteration of the Mini. This version is equipped with a 1.4-liter four-cylinder diesel developed by BMW in collaboration with Toyota. The engine features the latest ‘common-rail’ injection technology and is fitted with a turbocharger and intercooler, giving it 75 hp and ample torque at low engine speeds. Fuel economy is the big attraction of the diesel engine for European buyers, and thanks to the power unit and a six-speed manual gearbox similar to that used on the high-performance Cooper S version, the Mini One D, as the new car is known, scores well on that level. It gives over 70 mpg (US) and the car will cover around 600 miles on just 13 gallons of gas. "
