BBC: Energy cost of PCs on standby
"The PC is a special case because if you don't turn it off completely, in other words pull the switch on the back, it's always drawing some kind of power. And depending on what kind of mode you're in that power can be anywhere between five watts to 60 and beyond. If a million PC users switched to a more efficient power supply, it would save almost the equivalent of 250 million litres of gasoline a day."
