   Generally, over a longer term, it is excessive. Ideal parasitic draw   
   should be about 50 MA (0.050 A), so you are *well* above ideal values.   
   However, monitoring requirements do both vary from vehicle to vehicle,   
   and over time as computers go to sleep and wake up. Best to check draw   
   about 30 to 60 minutes after stopping and closing the car. Do not open   
   doors, or otherwise let the car know you are there (like doing the   
   power remote locks, etc.)
