    What's the normal standby battery current draw of a B6?

    I'm having a bit of a problem with parasitic battery drain. The standby current is not critically bad, but it's suspiciously high, and combined with the fact I drive the car rarely, it amounts to my battery being drained slowly but surely.

    I've got some non-standard electric equipment in my car and that's likely the culprit, but before making that conclusion I need to know the normal standby current draw of a "healthy" car. With and without alarm activated, if you can provide those figures.
    I've googled, of course, but there's little to no info. One source quotes up to 50 mA is normal without the alarm, but that seems a bit high already?..

    Wow, 6 mA, that's super low. Thanks!
    Gives me hope I should be able to reduce my consumption of 90-100 mA. I've got some non-standard equipment pulling 20-25 mA, it seems (for no good reason), but still shouldn't be seeing 90 mA total.
