If your driving conditions match the conditions of the test and your driving style matches the style of the test driver, then the numbers are going to be accurate. Later this summer when I ditch this job and get something that doesn't have me driving 90 miles a day, my MPG is going to plummet. I'm not going to be any less of a hypermiler, even if my sig stops calling me one.

The EPA rating is just a benchmark. That's all.
