Our standard CI is as low as 12 for standard flights and 13 or 14 for economic tankering. On longer charter flights (longer > 2 hours) we might get a CI as low as 10. A year ago it was around 15, 3 years ago it was 35. All values for 733/5 and mostly domestic operation. Our standard descent speed with CI 12 is 252 kias, at least we dont have to reduce much approaching FL100.
