I was more basing it on things like Youtube and Nicovideo where the official files average ~60-90mb in fmt=18/h.264. Then you have things like Kadokawa's Haruhi upload on Youtube which clocks in ~110mb and FUNi's FMA:B encode is 193mb On2 VP6 (WTFH) so it is highly dependent on the encoder.

Well okay - if you seriously want to compare stamp-sized moving blocks (Youtube) and fansubs, then 2-4x might work out. But those are two entirely different kinds of creatures. Crunchyroll is thankfully way better than that already.

Looking at the CR stuff, it has gone from 120mb->150mb for SD and the average SD fansub is 175-200mb now.

Well, CR's 480p is pretty consistently 150 meg now, while fansubs are around 175. But okay, let's be super-gracious in your favor and say that CR's products are around 30% smaller than their fansub equivalents. A far cry from the factor 2-4 we talked about before. And not enough to really justify the video differences with. No, the reasons for the underperforming lie elsewhere.
