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
Yeah, i was already on better battery life settings
