from the eia website:
2002 numbers:
transportation fuel consumed=167,730 million gallons fuel=13,753,860 million kw/hrs
average vehicle mileage=17 mpg
******************
projected 2006 electric consumption=3677 billion kw/hrs from eia website
***************************
so to convert to pure electric and assuming no drops in consumption your looking at about 20k billion kw/hrs per year, no changes in efficiency assumed, more later
************************************
eia website shows 1 barrel of oil=584kw/h or about 13.9kw/h per gallon


+++++++++++++++++++++
I will be back to add to this, gotta go do more runs
