Kings, this sound right in line with my experience.

EPA measurements are done on a warmed up engine. With a cold engine, you're lucky to get 1/2 the EPA ratings for city or highway. I get much better mileage on my trip home than my trip to work since it's been sitting in warmer temps all day. compared to frigid cold all night.

Car sales people and service guys don't mind idling the car for 15+ minutes while they show you the features of the car/ diagnose the vehicles. The 19mpg on the Altima probably accounts for that.
