Likewise you can take a Jeep the advertises 16 MPG and on a regular basis get 22-23 MPG, driving style alone can make a huge difference, you need to take the human element out and test it with a driver that's not even aware that there is a test going on. Most of the BS fuel saving devices "work" because the person driving is expecting a change and subconciously hypermiling the car.
