cold -soaked battery ? 900

I am having some second thoughts on my current drain conclusions. With everything turned off and doors closed etc, I have a drain of .02 Amps, which probably comes from the radio that pulls some current even when turned off (to maintain radio settings). Now maybe that is higher than what it is should be. Also, I took some other measurements. With just the glove box open the current drain reads .11 A. With just the radio "on" .92 Amps.
With just the trunk light on - .74 Amps.
Measuring volts across the battery terminals with the car off yields 12.65 volts (after having charged and driven the car).
