You will get the best power consumption with wireless on if you have a Wi-Fi network at home and connect to it or only turn it on when you are within range of a Wi-Fi connection and you connect to it. You only need to do this once. Each and every time after that it will connect automatically.
You will not get the best power consumption with "only 3G" on. If you take your Kindle out of the house with wireless on it will most certainly revert to 3G, thus using the most power. If you want the best battery consumption just leave wireless off when you don't need it.

While I agree with your logic I'm still going to try 3G only. As I stated I get better battery time on K2 with wireless (3G) than I do with my K3 with wireless (3G and wifi). It makes zero sense. The K3 is supposed to have better battery time than K2. Understand as well that on a typical work day with my K3 I'm on wifi at least 20 out of 24 hours (with router at home and at work that K3 connects to).
Thanks!
