  I've seen these 2 terms being used to describe a vehicle's fuel consumption..
  
  What do these terms mean?

  i don't know if this is what you want to know.
  
  but an urban projected FC is a more pessimistic one (more start-stop)
  
  than a highway projected FC which is more optimistic (high gear all the way).

  its not a case of pessimism or optimism... rather urban FC is supposed to be lower and highway is supposed to be higher... reasons are like what u said... more start stop vs cruising all the way...
