Same for me. High Sierra is much improved in terms of sleep/suspend battery usage. About 1% overnight loss.

Amazing how just updating the firmware can make all the difference. I'm relieved to hear I wasn't the only one...
I am very sorry to see High Sierra solved the problem for many of you guys. I have a brand new MBP 2017 nTB (base model) and have always noted drains between 5% - 10% in 24h, even when computer is switched off! Have tried all things and setting in terminal, northing helps! Any of you have any advice for me? I live in Peru, where Apple has no stores, only a reseller that will take forever to review my MBP.
Guys is High Sierra the only version that fix the problem? I jumped from Sierra directly to Mojave and same problem. My battery drains over 20% per day when totally shutdown. With that huge base number, shutdown or sleep actually does not matter.
I am trying to install High Sierra now, finger crossed.

Update - no matter what version I put on this MBP, it drains about 20% or slightly more when fully SHUTDOWN. This is very nasty, I feel it is something wrong on the board hardware, apple must had some fragile design or a crappy component out there, otherwise no way over half people are getting this issue on a 2 years old laptop.
There should be a class action law suite or something. Unacceptible quality when they demand the top dollar for the MBP.
