EPA test is the same for every vehicle. For an auto trans they put it in D and run the cycle which is generally at an average speed of around 56-mph for the highway figure. It is for comparison purposes, nothing more. Don't know if it's still the case but, in the past, once the figures are calculated there is a 15% reduction in calculated versus what's on the sticker to compensate for manufacturers cheating on their calculations.
