Default 2005 S40i standard key off battery draw

Is there a standard battery amperage draw with key off? My car after the computer and modules go to sleep reads 0.07 to 0.08 amps. Is this acceptable? Or is there a parasitic drain?

most stuff I've read suggest normal key off battery draw should be under 100mA so . Just consider this - the bulb on the vanity mirror is 1.2 watts, which at 12V would draw 100mA on its own...

Funny -it turned out to be the drivers side vanity mirror. Amp draw test while removing most susceptible first
