Detailed Test Information
There's the test info for the different schedules. City average is around 21 (although has a max of 56), Highway average is 48 with a max of around 60. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "100% highway" and "100% city", but I think you're trying to indicate that at these speeds a vehicle will attain their EPA estimates, and that's just not accurate. These are tests which are supposed to mimic the types of driving which people do: a 30 min trip on city streets with many stops and some medium speed segments, a 12 min trip completely on the highway at reasonably high speeds, a 9 minute trip at high speeds with several starts and stops, a high-speed high variance test with the AC cranked, and a repeat of the city test in the cold.
