What is your battery current draw (or power consumption) when the engine is off?

I just did a test on the battery draw when the engine is off. 2005 Grand Marquis GS.

0.17A at 12.6V. That's 2.1W. That's high in my opinion. I was expecting around 0.10A (1.6W) or less.

What is the exact draw on your CV, GM or TC? Thanks in advance for the data.

Just tested my 2011 Crown Vic. 215 ma (0.215 amps). This seems high to me also. This was a few minutes after shutting the door and letting the dome lights go out. I suspect it may get less if the car sits idle for a long period of time (hours).

It does not surprise me, however, that a 2011 draws more than a 2005...they seem to be putting more and more electronics in newer cars, whether you want it or not.
