There is an article in Automobile magazine this month about how the EPA mileage is calculated.

From what I remember. They say it is done by the manufacturer. The biggest factor is the coast down from 70 mph which is fudged all over the place. The driver trains for days to get the least acell to match the speed profiles of the EPA course.

They say Kia/Hyundai is paying owners because they fudged the numbers past "the limit".
