Amps or a small fraction of an Amp ?
Your car computer memory is on, so is your alarm, the clock (digital or otherwise) and maybe the radio memory as well and that is the normal current drain when car not running. The current drain should be small however. To have a comparison, if your multi-meter has a high enough range, open a door and see the current increase due to cabin and door lights.
If you like you could start removing fuses to the alarm, radio, and computer and see how much reduction in current for these items. Make sure you have your radio code and write down your favorite radio preset stations 8-).
