Also its not extreme rare situations

Fuel economy is measured under controlled conditions in a laboratory using a series of tests specified by federal law. Manufacturers test their own vehicles—usually pre-production prototypes—and report the results to EPA. EPA reviews the results and confirms about 15%–20% of them through their own tests at the National Vehicles and Fuel Emissions Laboratory.

Since writing that page roughly an eternity ago, they have not confirmed 15-20%, and have complained about the lack of staff to do such a thing. You're only just learning about this all now, so it's an easy mistake to make.
