What MacBook Pro exactly? Does it have a discrete GPU as well as an integrated one?


You can turn on Aumatic Graphics switching in System Preferences->Energy Saver


Also the energy use varies wildly depending on what your mac is doing. You can open Activity Monitor on the Energy pane and see if something stands out.


And you can run Etrecheck and post its full report here so others can look for possible issues.
