That seems odd to me. In my limited personal experience (4 vehicles I/we have owned), all it takes to match or beat the old epa rating is not driving like an idiot.
Example: my civic, rated 38 mpg highway (old epa). If I set the cruise control at 65 mph (105 km/h), it'll do 42-44 mpg. Using AC might bring it down to 40, which is still better than the rating.
