not too good, i'm afraid
We're only getting about 23 mpg with the CRV. The caveats/lame excuses:
1) We've driven it very, very little over the past month. It's in good shape, but we've only driven it to garden stores and hardware places. Which leads to
2) Half the time it has bags of mulch, paving stones, and other junk in the back, so it's got extra weight.
3) I'm so used to hypermiling with the Echo that the CRV feels completely foreign to me. I keep getting stop sign distances way wrong, and I find it strangely hard to time anything right when I'm driving it.
All that said, it's a good car. It's just not right for us.
