No they aren't.

A series of standardised test cycles are run, everyone runs the same ones, then the results are used to get a series of "official" fuel consumption figures. (and CO2 figures as well)

The reason very few people get anywhere near the "official" figures is that they don't drive exactly as per the standardised test cycle.
