How much power does an inverter need to run a fridge?

If 100watts/220v = 0.45Amps, then the power cable from the inverter to battery has to rated to draw 100watts of 12V which is 8.3Amps, most cars have a 10Amp 12V 120watt plug, which while the engine is running should supply enough current to power the fridge, if the inverter is running off a dual battery this would *almost* be enough to do it.
