From 98% to 91% battery life on sleep. Is this normal?

I recently bought a Macbook Air and last night, I charged it and unplugged at 98%. Closed the lid, which means it was on sleep mode. After 20 hours, I opened it and saw that my battery is at 91%. I didn't use it the whole day, I don't use keyboard backlights, and the only thing open before I closed the lid was Chrome.


Is the 98% to 91% even while on sleep normal?


Is there any way I can save up battery?


I have these settings in my Energy Saver:


Put hard disk to sleep when possible (checked)

slightly dim display when on battery power (checked)

enable power nap (unchecked)


Thanks!

It would be Normal for the Battery to decrease over long period of Sleep while running on Battery. You could decrease to battery used in this mode by Closing Google Chrome
