We're designing a device that is powered from the car battery, that must be 
able to enter low power "sleep" mode. Unfortunately, the 78M05 has a 
quiescent current of 3mA (too high for this application).

There are regulators that meet this requirement, but they are considerably 
more expensive. Are there any alternatives in the same price range as the 
78M05?
