"Further (as others have mentioned) it takes a huge amount of electricity to refine oil into gasoline. The electricity savings from not refining a gallon of gas are enough to drive an electric vehicle pretty far on its own." This isn't as much as you would think. The manufacturing electrical usage of the US (which includes this) is separated out on the EIA site, and you can simply subtract it :)
