The EPA mileage ratings given to all vehicles -- including hybrids -- is based on emissions calculations, not on actual fuel consumption. This tends to inflate the ratings of hybrids and deflate the satisfaction of owners when they don't get the mpg's they were expecting. To be fair, you do have to drive somewhat differently compared to what you're used to in a gas-only vehicle to make the most of the hybrid system.
