For the very general - Look at real dollars of GDP per energy used.

Let's not. Everytime you want to make an unfavorable comparison you default to compared with GDP. Let's look at real use of a declining asset that we are continually increasing our imports, while competitive countries are decreasing their imports.

For some specific example - Look at the amount of gasoline used for a car of a certain size, weight and power.

Size, weight and power may be an important metric to you, but they certainly are not an important economic etric. Let's look at moving people, goods and services a mile per gallon of gas. That's a real economic metric.
