Automotive question, average 'normal' parasitic draw?

Quick question that I don't want to go outside in 29F weather at midnight to answer. With all the electronics onboard newer cars, what is thee average parasitic draw off the battery? The electronics have to be taking in a little bit I'd suspect.
Doing some circuit design work that would intermittently require just under 1mA of "key off" draw. Should be OK unless newer cars are already sucking more than I'd expect.

I'm not sure what the average draw is, but it is enough to cause a small spark when you disconnect / re-connect the battery cable. I would think 1mA is nothing.
