Are you really surprised?
all for the same reasons that the actual mpg is misrepresented. I really really dislike sounding like a conspiracy theorist, BUT... The auto manufacturers make more money when you buy the bigger fancier cars that get worse fuel mileage. They know that the people who really know will buy the Yaris anyway. So why should they even care. Look at the hybrid dilema... It might be difficult to convince someone to buy a Toyota prius at twice as much money getting 44 mpg when a Yaris gets 42 mpg... Admittedly, safety issues aside.

Why do so many people think that automakers make MPG ratings?
