No there is no command that will give you how much power the device 
is consuming, the power numbers are the worst case consumption 
numbers at 55C, so they can be much more then typical case. The only 
way we have gotten the actual consumption is by using external power 
meters. I know from one measurement on a product the Datasheet number 
to the number measured at 25C was 2x higher, with line rate traffic. 
The variation between Dtaasheet and measured is not normally that dramatic.

Question to you? Would Cisco publishing average power numbers be of interest?
