How much oil is used to generate electricity in comparison to energy?

The reason why the percentage of oil used for electricity is low is because it has many other more pressing needs (transportation, plastic), while coal and natural gas don't have as many, so it is more logical to use these instead. The use of oil for energy is a much vaster concept because oil has many uses (transportation being the main one).
