OK, I finally got around to it. My standby drain:
- Key not in ignition two minutes after shutting car off - 17mA.
- Key in ignition two minutes after shutting car off - 17mA.
Not a hard test to do and I already knew what the result would be, but it's always a good idea to verify before speaking.
I expected someone else to beat me to the punch, the fact no one did is part of why I dont' spend as much time here these days.
