I would say they are almost definitely inconsistent to some extent. I don't know of a battery technology that isn't affected by temperature, for example - so people in the very cold or very hot areas may see a huge gap (even discounting changes caused from running the heaters and air conditioners). My guess is that even in the worst of cases they'll still get great mileage - but only when compared to other cars, not to their stated numbers.
