I don't think you can figure it,beyond guessing a rough ballpark anyway,you just have to measure it.

Those figures are only useful to show the relative difference between motors,but as for guessing the actual amp draw in a car,too many variables.

Even with the same motor, other factors will determine current draw: weight of the truck, driving style, etc. The best way to tell for sure is to record the current value over time. I haven't used this, but it sounds good: http://www.eagletreesystems.com/MicroPower/micro.htm
