Except they arbitrarily just reduce the actual test results a certain percentage to take those things into account. They also add stop and go to the highway test. (I don't stop on the highway until it's time to get gas or pee). See I'm the other way around, I want a real, long distance, highway steady state MPG test. Basically what a car or truck gets at a constant 65mph. Hills may hurt on the way up but they sure are nice on the way down. Technically they can actually help by basically be a forced pulse and glide.
Overall the rating is good, many people get worse MPG but the few here show they could actually beat the numbers with some thought and attention. They do need to fix the manual transmission forced high rpm shifting penalty. If you want to be the cool guy beating the EPA rating by the most get a manual because they make the testers drive like a moron with the shift points.
