Not getting Estimated MPG

[MMUK]

I easily beat the NEDC estimates on my daily commute. And the NEDC figures are higher than the EPA.

The reason is that I have a particularly good commute for MPG purposes.

Which is the point I was trying to make in my post above.

The same applies here:

"Yet even if people are doing pure city driving, why are they not even reaching the city estimate?" ... but does their city drive match the EPA city drive? Probably not. They are bound to have either more or fewer stops, a longer or shorter distance. Just because they are doing 'city' driving' it does not mean that they will get the same mpg as on the EPA city driving cycle.
