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

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
