I hope those aren't true.
The 57 mpg is "manufacture-estimated." The EPA's numbers are 54 city/50 hwy/52 comb. estimates for the regular FWD ones and 51 city/47 hwy/49 comb. estimates the AWD versions. Not sure of the Prime version.

Manufacturers do the testing for EPA ratings. Toyota knows the combined EPA rating will be 57 mpg - they just can't advertise them as EPA ratings until EPA stamps the paperwork.
