I have had my 13" MBP for 12 months, 7hr battery. Generally get 6-8 hours use when doing dev/test work. With VmWare Fusion running I'm lucky to get 2 hours. On days with lots of meetings (note taking & giving presentations) I can get through a 14hr day on a single charge.
I suspect that disk activity has a big impact upon power consumption. But when doing heavy development (and using Fusion) I power from mains.
