The EPA doesn't do the testing. The car companies do the testing and I believe the EPA polices it here and there.

There have been complaints by Hyundai owners that their vehicles do not get EPA rated numbers:
Consumer Watchdog To EPA: Re-Test Hyundai Elantra Gas Mileage | Consumer Watchdog

I don't think anything has come of it though.
