Not sure how true this is but: https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/fe_test_schedules.shtml
But if you look at the time it takes them to get to the speeds they are very easy on the throttle.The A/C test looks like it took them nearly 45 seconds to get up to 40mph at one point.
The tests are not typical of real world driving, especially more so now than in the past with so many more vehicles on the road at a given time than say 25 years ago and most roads do not accommodate the number of vehicles as they did with the smaller population.
