I am getting pretty consistently around 8 hours if I don't use the Discreet graphic card.
is this inline with others? Also curious how much you get from the 13"?

I have high Sierra (but honestly saw no change compared to Sierra or just minor loss)
Mostly Safari. Office, lots of tabs etc.
 
They all give about the same battery life (apart from the non touchbar which has only one fan and a very low wattage CPU) 8 hours is fantastic and suggests a fairly light/medium load for a 15 inch machine and is bang in line with what you can expect.
 
Well I have the office package open, 15 tabs in Safari, iTunes and iBooks and email open so still decent load.
Good to know, I was expecting closer to 10 hours but I guess that would be with very very light load.

Btw, when you say all Lof them, would the 13" with TB have about the same battery time with this load?

Thanks
