50 miliamps is ideal (I think, it's been awhile since I've had to chase one down.)

Got all your zero's in the right place there? Sounds like you've made a 10x improvement already.

50ma would be 0.050 or pretty close to your 0.070

20mA would be better (and a good condition car should approach this).

Mine is 22mA currently with many additional items.

If you can get below 50mA you will not have too many battery issues unless you let it sit for long periods (weeks at a time). I think you have a little more work to do.
