macOS Mojave Drains Battery Like Never Before

How do you measure power consumption on a Mac? I'm using a 15" 2015 MBP with ~4h battery life, even when the battery was new. I'd like to see how the upgrade affects this.

I don't about precise power measuring tools, but I use CoconutBattery which displays what my current drain charge is. I already know what the values are when "idle", so I can compare the new values on Mojave with the ones I remember.

All of this info is available in the system instrumentation, so with the right utility you can see it in real time. I use iStat Menus.
