Thanks all for the advice. Here is a summary of f what I did. Power consumption is reasonable now..

Turn GPS off. Use mobile network for apps using location
Bluetooth manage by app auto bluetooth
Screen brightness to auto
Sync mail schedule to manual during M - F 8-5. Otherwise 15 minutes
Turn off apps. Long hold home key. Icon is to the left
Be mindful of screen on esp during audio books
Use screebl for screen timeout mgmt. Set to 15 seconds when flat.

Again thanks to all.

That's pretty good. Would be tempting to turn back on one or two of the more inconvenient things you turned off to see if they really matter much. I used Juice Defender Pro on my Bionic, and while it worked great in preserving power, all too often the phone didn't function well because of things that had been turned off. When i went to the S4, I dumped Juice Defender and haven't missed it much since the S4 seems much less power hungry.

Yes good point. I think the biggest power saver was changing the mail sync to manual during peak hours...

Turn off your data radio when you don't need it.
That alone will stop any background syncs while it's off, saving more battery.
