He has to wait on a 140 car about 1/2 hour or more to wait for all the consumers to go into an idle mode. This is tough to do properly on a 140. If you are OK with it, I'd take the car and see how it does in "the real world". I assume he's saying .1 amp resting current draw, which (other can check me here) is 100ma (milliamps)? 1000ma = 1 amp right? On a 140 it's not uncommon to be as high as 30-40ma, but on most other cars it's maybe 10-20ma, 140's have alot of computers.
If your mechanic needs a few details on doing that test let me know. Or is he an MB guy and should know? Also, if he's doing the test right, have him make sure all the various interior lights are off, although 100ma seems low to be a bulb.
