Is it possible that a hybrid car for better mileage in city driving than highway driving?

I saw a car ad hybrid make this statement. It seems to defy the laws of physics? Is there a standard to determine the city driving mileage? Or is it each car manufacturer?

In fact, some hybrid cars get the best fuel mileage, while the electric motor is used with gasoline with care. So slow speeds and with the gas engine lights will not start. That is, during the first 40 miles. It's when you need 5 hp to 65 maintaine miles per hour and 4 HP to run A / C in the engine starts and recharges the batteries and helps propel the car down the road. Mixed driving about 40 miles a day is where hybrids shine. Now the downside of Toyota and Nissan Nickel Metal batteries are expensive and will last the life of a car the high-voltage 255 volts can kill. And the car has a regular battery to start the gasoline engine as well. Synergy Drive is the best thought. Everyone else is playing catch up. Until there hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles total with Solor roof panel and back up batteries that last. We are stuck with hybrid technology.
