Anyone else get better battery life while using Safari compared to other browsers?

I find that I get 30-60min extra battery life if I'm using Safari instead of google Chrome.. Both seem to use the same amount of processing power, google chrome slightly higher on ram usage.. could this be why?

Has anyone else noticed this?

edit: Correction.. estimated battery life* according to the battery indicator on the finder bar.

Personally i haven't. I have used Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Camino so far. I must say that firefox was the best by far, although i can't confirm any battery issues with any browser specificly.

I have experienced the same thing. My MBA runs noticeably warmer while using Chrome as well.
