I think some manufactures are trimming the fat in the EPA ratings they submit. Looked at the 2015 Subaru Impreza, AWD rated at 37 mpg HWY, pretty impressive. One Fuelly member of 63 is making it. Manual tranny is rated 33, 9 of 63 (14%) are matching or beating that.
By comparison 2014 Mirage 9/26 (35%) are getting the 44 hwy mpg the CVT is rated for or better, 11/26 (42%) are beating the 42 mpg hwy of the manual.
Not the best cars to choose to compare, I'd like to see how Outlander sport AWD with 2.0 would compare, I think it's rated 30 with CVT, but not much of a sample and hard to tell which are FWD or AWD. Be interesting even to compare Subaru's ratings of today to 4-5 years ago.
