Default Linear fluorescent light power consumption

Today I recieved my British Gas electricity monitor and I have noticed that
when I turn on the kitchen lights that are two 58 watt T8 tubes running on
two conventional ballast gear trays the wattage on the monitor shows a draw
of 160 watts which means that if the tube draws 58w then the ballast is
drawing 22watts, would this be correct?.
