My wife's 2011 CRV gets 20-ish in suburban/rural/errand driving. She could care less about trying things to improve it other than trading it in on something else. When I drive it I can coax a couple more MPGs without doing anything other than being smoother. That said, even when trying pretty hard on highway trips I can only eke out 26MPG or so. It's deeply unimpressive.
I would think that a vehicle with the CRV's specs should easily and routinely get upper 20's or better. I'm told the newer CRV's actually do get those kinds of numbers.
