Calculating the width of the interval defined by an inequality
I am looking for a Mathematica function that takes an inequality as the input and gives back the width defined by upper bound - lower bound:
Example:
Fn[1 <= x <= 2.5]
1.5
If the inequality is evaluated to False (e.g., 2 <= x <= 1), then I need the function to return 0.
I truly appreciate your help.

f[ineq_, var_] := RegionMeasure[ImplicitRegion[ineq, var]]
f[1 <= x <= 2.5, x]
1.5
This works also for some systems of inequality in several variables:
f[{1 <= x <= 2.5, 0 <= y <= x}, {x, y}]

fn[expr_] := Module[{},
If[! expr, Return [0]];
Return[Abs[expr[[3]] - expr[[1]]]]

fn[2 <= x <= 1]
(*0*)
fn[1 <= x <= 2.5]
(*1.5*)
fn[2.5 > x > 1]
(*1.5*)
Don't know if this works in all cases, but works in the simple cases you provide.
