They were actually tested before, and they're actually tested now. The EPA's driving test cycles (which are actually done on a dynamometer) changed for the 2008 model year. Lower mileage figures resulted. The aim of the revised test procedures was to give mileage estimates that better reflected numbers that average drivers were achieving. The Yaris didn't change when its posted mileage estimates went down. Just the test.
