I don't have specific numbers like other posters. However, my battery lasts approximately twice as long at respective light settings with the wifi off vs on.
Same with former PW1 and current PW2.

I had the same problem with the original Kindle Fire, never with the Galaxy Tabs, iPad or cell phones. The S3 and S4 consume power with GPS and streaming, not with wifi on.
