Printjob manager to be specific. It was hogging the CPU and making it run to almost 100%. That's why my MBP was also so hot. I killed the process and battery life is back to where it has. Somewhere between 2:20 to 2:30 per charge. Not great but it's ok. @Quikboy, the MBP is good, don't get me wrong. Except for the battery life I love most of the things about the machine. @Udo – thanks for the tip, you were right there was a runaway process. Printjob manager to be specific.

If there is none, you should show the whole laptop to your next Apple support person, there might be a faulty component in there somewhere if it's not a software problem...
