I don't know that I'd exclude hybrids. Two of my brothers have Priuses, and are often 10-20% under EPA ratings, while never exceeding them. The only vehicle I've been around that seems to consistently beat its EPA numbers is the VW Jetta TDI. My mom and uncle have them, and pretty much always beat the EPA highway ratings by 5-10%.
But yeah, I agree with you -- the EPA ratings are a statement of what is possible, not what can be expected for every driver.
