There is absolutely nothing comparable between the EPA laboratory dynometer five cycle testing and my little steady state drive in the wild.
Although, it wouldn't hurt to have a max range EPA number based on 55-60mph or something like that.
EPA 80% : 67
EPA 100%: 84
EPA max : 92
Then the same thing for cold weather and another for a 5 year old car at 60,000 miles.
