Wifi consumes that much power if you are sending/receiving stuff. I managed to drain it to 5% within an hour by transfer of large files over wifi.
I have wifi on all work-day long 8 hours straight, a 30min gap when driving home and another 6 hours at home and sometimes it is on over night if I forget to turn it off and still make the +40 hours of battery-life.
Wifi settings are 10mW powersaving maximum (works for me).
'Device on' LED indication off.

@ JorgeFX
The activity was:
This is the actual configuration:
1) 3G always enabled
2) Internet connection on 3G with Skype and GTalk active
3) Foreca Widget (2 hrs refresh)
4) GMail IMAP (30 mins refresh)
5) 20 mins of phone call (before 10.00)
6) 40 mins of bluetooth headphone connected. (before 10.00)
7) 15 mins of media player playng audio. (before 10.00)
Essentially from 10 to 13 the onlyt activity is a passive 3G Internet connection ...

I
- Turn off gps
- Remove all apps that install something on background. Or actually list programs what you have installed so that people can suggest what to do.

I did something very simple. I installed a status bar icon that disables wifi entirely and switched to 2G mode.
I got back from a full workday and still had a half full battery. I listened to a lot of music through mediabox too.
When I want to do internet stuff I simply switch wifi back on and when I'm done switch it off.

'Device on' LED indication off.
Widgets are only updating when at view or on-click.
2G only as I do not use it most of the time.
I do not read my emails on the device if not needed so no updating there.
No python coded widgets that eat up my RAM on hildon-home (like Recaller).
I don't use a custom kernel and I do not use any advanced tweaks.

In bad reception areas you may try yourself. My standard phone only cell phone dropped from 100% charged to dead within 10 hours with connected to 3G network (no internet connection logged in) instead of up to 7 days with 2G (its normal GSM and EDGE if logging in to provider network)
