I get the impression they potentially got that output running it in 4th gear from 1000-7000rpm, and I am assuming they got that result on the road, not off some engine or vehicle dyno test.

Would make logical sense, to have vehicle weight and aero drag factored in to that chart, but then again, if you wanted to show min fuel consumption, you wouldn't want it tested that way....
