The best way to find out is to ask. You're right to think that you can't compare EPA figures to your own driving style, but they're good for getting a rough relative comparison of one vehicle to another.
My Insight is rated for 70mpg highway / 61 city by the EPA. Cruising at 55 down a flat road on a warm day, I get around 100mpg. When it's 25 below zero and the roads are covered in deep snow, I might get 45-50mpg until it's warmed up, after which it's more in the range of 55-65mpg at the same speeds. At 75mph, economy is in the 60mpg range on flat roads, and probably a little lower in the mountains, but I never drive at those speeds.
