Truth in Advertising?
Check out this advertisement on the Lexus site in Australia
http://www.lexus.com.au/rx450h/
CAREFULLY look for the l/100km
Lexus states the car fuel rating is 6.3/100 (sorry there is no bullsh_t icon to accompany the claim).

1. Fuel consumption will vary depending on driving conditions/style, vehicle conditions and options/accessories. Source of fuel consumption data: ADR 81/02 combined (L/100km).
It is a metric under Australian Design Rule 81/02 - Fuel Consumption Labelling for Light Vehicle. Under specified conditions, this vehicle achieves 6.3L/100KM, which is 37.34MPG.If this metric is used across the board in Australia, those are the numbers you would be comparing to other vehicles.
