What increases the battery usage is the re-establishing of the data connection when it auto disconnects.
Edit: Currently My data stays connected unless I manually turn it off but the arrows indicating data transfer ONLY come on when there is actually data being transferred. What does your indicate?

Well I figured that because the arrows are solid as if I was browsing the web I figured that the data was running when I actually was not doing anything of the sort. I would check in my notifications and I noticed that the arrows were solid and there was a timer that just kept running and I was curious to know why this was. So I just tried to disable it. I wasnt sure if it helped or hurt. I just tried everything possible to try and cut down on the data usage, but I will turn the settings back tonight and check and see if my battery life changes any tomorrow. I will post back with my results.
