I totally agree that many real world results do not agree with the EPA testing. Frankly that's inevitable, because they are testing on a dyno in a controlled lab setting. But at least the EPA testing provides you with a comparison tool between vehicles, where you know each has been tested with the exact same test conditions. As soon as you introduce different people and real roads you introduce error into your testing.
