How quick is quick? What are you doing with the machine?

Define fast.

Are you using google chrome by any chance? If so, get rid of that POS ressource hog of a browser and use safari instead, watch your battery life increase by 20% or more.

If you read the fine print, the computer lasts "Up to" X hours. It also mentions how it was achieved. Tests are done browsing a website on Safari which has no flash content, refreshing every 30 seconds, with a Pages document open, bluetooth off, Time Machine off, screen at about 66% brightness.
