The battery time without BT on with wifi is about 3:50 full bat.

With full battery and charger plugged in. It shows up 4210 mAh as full charge wtf lol
Sounds about right for a Late 2008.
Your battery is 33% smaller than the newer MBP's.

There is one thing that can do to extend the battery life on your MBP drastically.
If you're not playing games or using 3D for any apps, turn off the GPU.
On my MBP it doubles the battery life and it's a lot cooler on your lap.

The setting is under System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Better Battery Life
