It's not socialism.  It's corporate welfare.

Yes, the number used to be higher. All cars had higher numbers. They changed the way mileage is calculated about a year ago. 19 is correct for our cars.

Not all cars were higher, Chevy went up in a few.

I NEVER saw mine get below 24, and I drove the hell out of it.

Don't know how EPA got 19 combined.  With delta cams and engine in good nic I get the following:

With no AC and romping the shite out of her I still get 26 mixed.  With AC and romping I get 23.  With no AC and sensible driving I get 28 mixed.  With AC highway I get 34.  LOL never tried highway with no AC... though since my compressor's clutch just went out, I might have to soo.

I get 29 with hard driving on my m42-powered brick of an E21.

What a scam.

Well looks like 1 1991 318i and 1 1991 318is qualified for C4C after all. I guess they really didn't care about the FE numbers.
