It doesn't look like that's been the case.

Fuel Economy doesn't list it.

The listing above are likely taken from the New European Driving Cycle specs, then converted to mpg - but it doesn't work that way with the NEDC and EPA numbers.

The values in L/100km on the NEDC would appear far better than the EPA's mpg (US) - there's about 15-20% difference between the two cycles, with NEDC being hard to beat, and EPA being far more realistic and achievable.

If you match or beat the NEDC values, you're hypermiling already.
(You need to do 20% better than EPA to achieve hypermiler status here )
