At least officially.

In the real world, you won't get near the official EU rating all that easily - compare them to the old EPA rating.

Consumer organisations tested the vehicles that can get a 15% Gov't discount, none of them achieved their rating in normal driving, i.e. how most people drive.

It takes some serious hypermiling to get at and go beyond the official numers
