It is simply a pointer to what can be achieved if you are careful.

In November 2005, I decided to see how fuel efficient my car can be. I drove extremely carefully, was very gentle with the accelerator, very sparing on the clutch and brakes, upshifted the Maruti way (2-3-4-5 at 10-20-30-40) and never exceeded 40 kph. With A/C on, I got a mileage of 16.47 kpl in the city with A/C on (between 2 tankfuls, 373 km took 22.65 litres).

I have never driven that way again but it gave me a pointer to what is possible. But without providing the conditions or my driving style, if I claim an Indica V2 LSi gives 16 kpl in the city with A/C, I may not believe myself!
