High Battery Usage On Wifi, But Not 4G?

For the last 2 days, I've had WiFi turned on on my phone (with 4G on also) so that while I'm home, it uses WiFi only for data and 4G turns white instead of blue. At the end of the last 2 days, my MAXX had about 53% battery left with the battery usage stats indicating the screen was what caused the most battery usage. However the screen was hardly turned on at all this weekend.
Today, I turned WiFi back off, same amount of usage and I'm at 93% battery with it being 8 hours off the charger and phone idle being the battery hog, if you will. At this rate, I'll be in the 85% range at the end of my day.
How does having WiFi turned on use almost twice the amount of battery? Since 4G is still turned on, is it constantly seeking that 4G signal and that's why the battery is drained so much? Do I have to disable data on 4G completely to keep the battery from being discharged so much?
I refuse to believe that we have to manually disable 4G to use WiFi and keep the battery from being drained. And then have to manually disable WiFi and re-enable 4G if we want to wander away from our WiFi.
