I have an eeepc 1015PEM. It said it has a 6 hr battery life and for the 3 yrs I've had it I have always got near to that. What I do notice is I get an indication of about 2.5hrs when I start up with a full battery, but it soon settles down to something like 5hrs 50mins. Anything intensive will always bring the indication down a bit before it goes back up.
I'm on 13.10 now and probably started with around 10.04 and I haven't noticed much change over the years.
