For driving on public roads like an idiot with no regard for the law, sure. Ever read what the Long Term cars at Motor Trend average for fuel economy? They're laughably unrealistic. It'll likely get 9 MPG when driven in anger on most racetracks. Back in the real world where there's traffic and speed limits with radar traps to back them up, most people will get close to the EPA numbers.
