Normal parasitic current draw is 18 ~ 20 mA. When measuring, make sure you close the doors and hood and let all the control modules time out and go to "sleep".
Do a search for parasitic current draw and you'll find some good threads.
If your battery is losing voltage fast, it's probably the battery. I don't I've ever heard of one guy finding the parasitic current draw more than normal.

You shouldn't have a current draw problem if you use the Yellow "Accessories" Wire connection to power your iPOD. Above the Passenger Floor Fuse Box...you will find a wad of black duct tape holding 3 color-coded wires that can be spliced into: Orange= direct battery feed Yellow= Power only when key is in Accessories position or normal running operation Black= Ground Wire
