You can say that again, with the new EPA for the AWD FEH at 24 MPG for example, that adds a lot of leeway from the 31 it is now. The same can be said for most vehicles out there, with the new 5 cycle testing.
BTW, I'm indirectly mentioned in the EPA government report, due to my contributions to
www.fueleconomy.gov 
(In the back, in their sections about data contribution and weighing.)
While it's great that we're "out of the lab" for testing, and including things like freezing starts, higher highway speeds, and AC use, at the same time, it's a validation to people who insist on driving their vehicles "unwisely".
