"Real world" depends on how you drive, where you live and drive, how you maintain your car, and many other factors.
You can see what other owners are reporting on:

The EPA tests no longer accurately reflect most American's real-world driving. The tests were set up in the 1970s (with a minor mathematical correction applied in the 1980s), and the vehicles do not use heat or AC, run at 68-86^F, and never go faster than 60MPH.

However, the same tests are applied to all vehicles, so it is still your best choice to compare one vehicle against another. If you know what your real-world fuel economy is with another vehicle, use that model year and trim level's MPG from http://www.fueleconomy.gov/ and find the % difference from the EPA MPG to your own MPG. Then apply the same % difference to the EPA MPG of the vehicle that you're looking at to get what you may expect in your own real-world driving. (Everyone's "real world" driving is different...)
The EPA even states that "Your MPG will vary." http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/why_differ.shtml
