Here is a nice, easily understood PDF. presentation of Hydrogen Economics by Prof. Joan Ogden at the Institute of Transportation Studies University of California, Davis.

Here is a report done on the impact plug-in vehicles will have on power grid economics. While not directly dealing with the transportation aspects this paper includes a few graphics that display the impacts of widespread plug-in vehicles and hybrid electrics.

While there is no vast economic structure surrounding P-Series fuels I was able to find information regarding impacts on the oil industry. While P-Series fuels will never ever fully replace oil, they are useful as supplements, but on a limited scale. From the institute for the analysis of global security--
"As of May, 2003, the projected retail (pump) price for P-Series (89 mid-grade) incl. all taxes is $1.49 per gallon (based on NJ state taxes). This about $.13 /gallon less than mid-grade gasoline, but the lower price reflects the lower energy content of the ethanol. On a BTU basis, P-Series is more efficient than gasoline, but on a gallon basis, the fuel mileage is about 10% less than gasoline. The upshot is that the operating cost -- in $/mile -- is about the same as mid-grade gasoline. Fortunately, the scale of production to reach this price point is very modest, only 10 MBD (150 million gallons per year), or about 5% of the production volume of even a small oil refinery. Economies are met even at such a small scale because revenue is obtained for accepting the waste as well as producing the fuel. Because of the small size and scale, multiple plants can be distributed geographically so that no one neighborhood need become the trash importer for the region. "
