Seighar mentioned a very important issue that I forgot to bring up. If you are going out for any length of time, say more than a couple of hours, turn your Wi-Fi off. It can use a lot of energy searching for nonexistent or unwanted Wi-Fi.

WiFi also does take a fair amount of battery, I typically keep it on though unless I am out and about most of the day. Most people who criticise the iPhone's battery performance don't take into account that most people also use their iPhone to do way more stuff and to me the battery does OK if I can get through the day doing what I need to do. I believe investing in an external battery case or battery pack is the way to go here. I prefer just an external battery since I have a very nice leather case and prefer my iPhone to be as slim as possible and any battery case adds a bit of bulk. The New Trend IMP1000 which somebody just asked about yesterday has good reviews and a wopping 11,000 MA with 41 WH and that allows you to charge your phone up to 6 times before having to recharge the battery. It's of course a bit on the larger side with about 4 inches by 4 inches by a bit over an inch thick (think portable external hard drive or about as wide and long as your iPhone is long and 3 times as thick). Anyhow, there are tons of options out there ranging from as small as a good sized USB stick to my Brunton Impel which weighs 2 pounds, is a bit larger than an old VHS tape, but I can fully charge my laptop on it and my iPhone and it's still not dead with 145 WH (Watt Hours) it has 3.5 times the capacity of the New Trend IMP1000 and you could charge a new iPad close to 3 times. Best to go to a store and ask them to show you a few options and pick one that meets your budget and that you like.
