Why would they botch the numbers ?
They CAN get these numbers, but that doesn't mean (most of) their customers can.
Hybrids (not just Ford's) are very susceptible to how they are driven.
Ford's engineers obviously know the inside-out of how the hybrid system works, how they can play it, and how they can get the best numbers out of it on a relatively short cycle.
