Now, the reality is that no one has a commute exactly like the EPA test course and no one drives EXACTLY in the same manner as the EPA test.
But the EPA does provide a good tool to compare one car against another. That's it. Nothing more.

Also, don't weigh more than 150 lbs or carry a passenger.
Weight matters in any car. In my 06HCH which my wife drives mostly, my near 300 lbs of blubber takes about 4 mpg off our mileage. We still get over 45 mpg with both of us in the car.
