Does anyone know offhand how much power the 85W power adapter for a MBP consumers when it is plugged into the wall but not connected to the computer?
Yes. I measured mine, which is the older style "big" one, not the current more compact model.
According to my notes, it was using approximately 1 W (with 240 V mains, if that matters).
I didn't note the exact figure - the meter had higher resolution but the power adapter was using so little power that I didn't care.
From memory, it was somewhat less than 1 W and I rounded it up.

I have the same "big" one, too. Glad to hear that someone made the measurements.
