Key Initiatives to Improve Returns

Gross margin capture

Continue to look for sour-up and product upgrading opportunities

Example: St. Charles mild hydrocracker in 2007

Energy efficiency

1st quartile performance ^ $360mm operating income improvement

Examples: new FCCU power recovery turbine at St.Charles,hydrogen plant at Benicia, and multi-site heater efficiency

Mechanical availability

1% improvement ^ $140mm operating income improvement

Examples: Port Arthur coker drums and Aruba utilities

Non-energy operating costs

1st quartile performance ^ $500mm operating income improvement

Example: maintenance execution and contractor reduction at Del City

$1 billion in operating income improvements in 5 years

Goal

Future of Refining Looks Bright

Refineries more complex and units more interdependent than ever

Results in longer turnarounds and maintenance periods

Downtime at one unit impacts refinery-wide throughput

Hydrotreating units need more frequent maintenance than crude andconversion units

Material costs higher and lead times longer

Since 2004, prices of steel up 74% and heavy-wall reactors up 133%

Since 2004, heavy-wall reactor lead times stretched from 12 to 36 months

Labor costs up, productivity down

Gulf Coast skilled labor costs up 60%, but productivity down 35% from 2004

Lower quality engineering and design result in costly reworks in the field

More stringent regulations reduce system flexibility

Product specifications and regulations more difficult to meet

Reduced ability to blend away downgrades and production issues

Tier II gasoline and ULSD phase-in tightened the market substantially

Margins to stay higher for longer

Summary

Compelling fundamentals driving strong margins

Global demand continues to grow 1.5 to 2.0 million barrelsper day

Global capacity additions struggling to keep up

Valero can achieve meaningful EPS growth frominternal improvements and stock buybacks

Lower risk, more controllable EPS growth

Valero to look for strategic growth opportunitiesthat meet our criteria at an attractive price

Shareholders own the company, so we arefocused on creating long-term, sustainableshareholder value
