No, my car is not a minivan or SUV, its a sedan. Its just too much stop and go and mostly hills (San Francisco)!. On the freeway (long trip on the freeway), i've achieved a 26-29MPG

My honda CR-V gets around average 25 gallons, I do 90% highway driving with cruise control on, in 4th gear(auto) around 2.5k RPM's.
I just changed my air filter, oil, oil filter and checked tire pressure. I think the mileage is pretty decent, the only thing I would have to change to make sure my car is getting the milage is the o2 sensor.... but I dont have a jack or the tools to get in there, gotta head over to my friends house but no time T_T
My car seems like it drinks more gas after it dips below the 1/2 full line, does it feel like this for anyone else?

My '02 Galant does that. After 1/2 tank, the fuel gauge goes down faster. But the light goes on only after the meter goes way below E. (As opposed to the Lancer whose light goes on a bit above the E line.)

According to fueleconomy.gov, about 20 MPG/28 MPG
So not that bad ... I have to check it sometime for myself when I have time. haha

I do remember having to drive my dad's old minivan, a 93 Mazda MPV for a few months after my old car got wrecked, and that thing was downright slow, and got 11-13MPG city and it was well maintained... POS, so I know the pain of terrible gas MPG.
I also know the pain of filling a near 20 (fill about 15-17 gallons each time) gallon tank in my car per fill up... ($55+). I should also give everyone a warning about letting the car's gas tank run below 1/4 of capacity:
If you let the car run low close to E or less than 1/4 of tank capacity, you do risk slowly damaging your fuel pump, as the gas level drops in the tank, there is no more gasoline to surround the fuel pump to help it cool down from pumping, and on top of that, if the level is lower, its gonna have to pump 'harder' and heat up more, without gasoline surrounding it to cool it down. If and when the fuel pump fails, you will be stranded...

Haha, I never hear my VTEC. My VTEC is at 4.5k but I only go to 3.5k.
I get about 26 city, 30 highway.
