Default Parasitic Drain: Need normal "asleep" current draw

2006 Sonata GLS
v6; 125k mi.

Presently hunting down the source of a sudden parasitic drain.... always fun.
I need a datum current draw for the 2006 Sonata GLS v6. The Hyundai factory service manual doesn't list this--or at least I can't seem to find it.

Anyone care to reply with the Hyundai-official normal "asleep" current draw for this make & model?
...I'd expect something like ~50mA, for example.

The majority are 50 or less.
The better way to pin down the drain is to measure voltage across the fuses. This way the problem can't reset if you pull the fuse.
