Sounds about right. The CRJ does about that, depending on altitude. Higher is a lower burn, but it doesn't climb well enough to climb high on short segments.
I don't know what the burn is on the -700 or -900 CRJs. Anyone fly them care to fill us in? But I bet the burn is less per seat on the CRJ 700/900 than on the 200.
