This sounds like a political problem, rather than a technical problem.

I expect the actual IT folks know better than that, but the policy is probably coming down from on high. You should try getting your boss involved so you can stop the problem at its true source, or at least get an exception for your group.

That said, are you shutting down your virtual machines when they're not in use? If you power them off after you're done and thus don't leave them idling at low resource use, that might bump the average up closer to reality. Plus it frees up more resources and lessens the need for aggressive resource policies in the first place.
