    I find it interesting that the average energy consumption of a person (or household?) is roughly 30kWh/day and the energy usage of a car is roughly 40kWh/day. I wonder if it's some kind of truism that our transportation needs roughly equal our energy needs.

    I'd be interested to know if that's just a coincidence or whether there's an underlying reason.
