I really don't see an answer to it with modern cars. And I'm sure many
very clever engineers have given it much thought.


All data could be stored in non-volatile memory requiring no power to
maintain it when the cars ignition is turned off, or key/fob removed.

I guess the biggest user of standby power on a car is remote locking and
the alarm.
