Argonne national lab (Wang and others, the GREET model) has published the conversion from units of fuel to grams of CO2, including all of the steps like refining and mining. With those factors all you have to do is multiply--

(fuel units /mile) x (gms CO2 /fuel unit) = gms CO2 / mile

And, the tables include gms CO2 /kWh under various assumptions.

The tables are available on line, and I have a table on my computer here somewhere. I will have to send it later when I get back. (Have to get to work now.)
