1% per hour is normal. BUT if you're running Lion it should have turned into deep sleep mode after one hour. Only when entering deep sleep mode you will get the 30 days of standby time Apple is talking about.
I read that somewhere in one of Apples documents. It's called hibernate mode or something.
looks like your macbook isn't sleeping deeply enough. i suggest some valerian root
seriously though, what apps are you running before you left it to sleep? The apps that you didn't quit could have consumed battery power during the few minutes that you have left your air idling before it entered deep sleep.
