This IS based on REAL WORLD usage! My battery life was amazing prior to 10.8.1 and is garbage, just like your post
, with 10.8.1 running the same environment and processes!*** Edit ****
Seems like resetting the SMC the third time is a charm!! .... Battery now holding [ and draining ] charge, as expected!! * Knock on cyber-wood * !
----------
Believe it or not, I reset the SMC thrice and now it's indicating expected duration and, in some instances, holding up better!

I have one VM [ Windows ] active [ albeit suspended right now ] ; Spotify playing in the background ; Firefox [ yeah, don't laugh lol.. I still like it!! ] with 4 tabs open and Outlook polling mail..
Sitting at 71% after about 3 hrs and time remaining 6:07 hrs
Screen brightness: ~ 70%
Keyboard light: ~ 25%
Also have Geektool, Caffeine, GFX, and iStatPro running alongside. BT is off.
Have you tried the 'timing your real-world battery life' b.s. or are you just posting what it predicts in the menu bar like 99% of people seem to be doing on this thread?
Ml
Unless you deliberately made a copy of the ML installer before installing, the ML installer will self delete from your Applications folder.

Apparently 10.8.1 doesn't exist for me at all,
checked for software update,
got a HP printer update as the only item on the page,
Left software update window open, went to cinema with friends,
got home, installed HP printer update,
Software update now shows empty.
Wonders why the core OS updates are via this laggy POS App Store App.
guess ill have to find a standalone download on apples god awful support site

It was a 4,3GB download on my aluminium Macbook @ home, with a "full OS installer" as it upgraded.
But it was a ~20MB download on my 2011 Macbook Pro @ work, with a small "upgrading" dialogue.
I didn't do anything differently at the two machines. Both were 10.8.0 before the upgrade, and I just pressed "Upgrade" in App Store on both of them.

About 7mb update for my MBA:
+ battery life now way up scoring 9:32 hrs at 98%!
- after restart trouble connecting to Time Capsule Wi-Fi despite full range (!?), was solved by connecting to neighboring network then log in again. Anyone else with same experience?
Just logged in after fully charging the battery over night: wifi+bluetooth+ keyboard backlight off = 13:16 hrs of battery remaining!!
Thanks

But have you run the battery down to nothing? again that is based on averages - run it down till you have nothing left in the battery then work out whether there has been an actual drop or whether in usual fashion the estimation given by the battery meter is crap (I wouldn't be surprised if it was given that batter estimations have always been crap).

Just out of curiosity do you have an nVidia GPU? if you force the laptop to only use the Intel GPU built on the CPU (assuming you have an i-series Intel processor) is there an improvement on the battery life?
Installed the update yesterday. Wake from sleep total system freeze still not fixed. Happens almost every time when I wake up my Mac (mid 2012 MacBook Pro 13"), only hard restart helps.
Overall I'm very happy about Mountain Lion, but these freezes are disappointing and I can't remember things ever being so bad with any of my Windows machines.
I did upgrade from Lion. I guess clean install should be in order...

Wow... Did a quick google search for my problem - it seems that many have it. And we share the same common thing - we use Transmit (by Panic) and it is to fault.

Well on my mid 2009 MacBook Pro the battery life is a joke. It needs to be serviced, but prior to ML I could get something like 4 hrs, now I'm lucky if I got 2.
Everything Apple is doing lately is a bad taste joke. Well at least the competition is doing a better job than usual now.
