Yes this probably is correct.
The older hondas were less fuel efficient than the newer cars. My 1997 4 cyl vtec accord got 18/26 and the new ones (with similar engine and transmission) get 21/29.
If you want space and gas mileage perhaps a CRV would be a good bet. Its similar to the minivan interms of interrior layout, the seats also fold down for storage, but it also is very driveable on long trips, sits higher for visability and can go off road should you ever want to go camping with your family. The new CRVs also look better than a minivan (from some of our perspectives). The crvs also get much better gas mileage -- to your earlier point. doors.
