Yes - the US tends not to like outright lies in advertising.

Bit like the original Pious claiming 65 mpg as an average. When Autocar
tested it by driving it round a mixture of suburban London roads, they got
38 mpg. Worse than a diesel BMW of the same size which has much better
performance.

Toyota were forced to change this claim in the US - but not in the UK.
