(CHART) Continued Global Demand Growth Important to Refining Margins Refining is a global business - global demand growth impacts refiners in every market Growth in emerging markets is taking the lead in global petroleum demand OECD demand growth is expected to remain weak in 2011 and 2012 2011 demand has weakened in 2H11. Expect better growth in 2012 as Western Europe stabilize and global growth recover 8 Source: Consultant and Valero estimates

Fundamentals Supportive of Margin Outlook Tighter fundamentals for our products are supportive of margins Days of supply for diesel are much lower than last year Exports continue to remain strong and an important part of the demand story Feedstock discounts remain attractive Gasoline fundamentals are weak Good diesel demand combined with strong export levels should support diesel margins Support from low stocks in Europe and continued Latin American refinery issues 11 (CHART) Source: DOE weekly data; 2011 data through week ending November 4 (CHART) Source: DOE weekly data; 2011 data through week ending November 4 U.S. Distillate Days of Supply U.S. Gasoline Days of Supply


 

Valero's Strategic Priorities 12 Constant focus on safety, environmental, and regulatory compliance Manage overhead and maintain investment grade credit rating Improve margin capture, operating costs, and reliability Complete major, value-added capital projects at key refineries Optimize portfolio - continue "high-grading" strategy of the last several years Successfully integrate new acquisitions into portfolio and capture synergies Evaluate dispositions of poor performing assets Evaluate attractively priced acquisitions that improve competitiveness Add selective investments in retail and alternative fuels Goal: Increase returns to grow long-term shareholder value


 

Better Better Refining industry benchmark studies show our portfolio continues to improve Our goal is to be a 1st-quartile refiner Out of 80 refineries in U.S. and 12 refineries in Canada that participate in Solomon... Corpus Christi refinery ranked #1 in the U.S. group in Maintenance Cost, #2 in Cash Operating Expense Houston refinery ranked #1 in the U.S. group in Personnel Efficiency, #4 in Maintenance Cost Port Arthur refinery ranked #5 in the U.S. group in Personnel Efficiency, and #6 in Cash Operating Expense Quebec refinery ranked #1 in the Canadian group in both Cash Operating Expense and Maintenance Cost, and #2 in Personnel Efficiency Working diligently on weaker performers to raise entire portfolio Improving Refinery Operations 13 1st Quartile Rank 2nd Quartile 1st Quartile 2nd Quartile 3rd Quartile 3rd Quartile Rank Source: Solomon Associates and Valero Energy; 2011 YTD through September; excludes Aruba, Pembroke , and Meraux


 

Successful Cost Savings Programs Successful Cost Savings Programs 14 Ongoing cost savings programs have contributed to Valero's competitiveness and improved financial performance 2011 goal is $100 million, but expect to reach $200 million for year millions (CHART)


 

Refinery Yield Improvements Contribute to Higher Margin Capture 15 Note: Does not include Aruba, Pembroke, Meraux, Paulsboro or Delaware City refineries Higher-value products and liquid volume yield are important with high crude prices Liquid products have a much higher value than solid products like coke and sulfur Valero's focus on liquid volume yield achieved an increase of 0.4% in 2010 versus 2009 Via optimization of refining units, catalysts, and feedstocks Estimated improvement was worth $242 million using 2010 prices 2011 YTD estimated improvement is $48 million In current price environment, each 0.1% improvement generates about $60 million in additional EBIT each year Expect another 1.4% improvement in 2013 for entire system after hydrocracker projects are operating


 

Valero Increasing Use of Lower-Cost Crude Oils Constantly evaluating opportunities to process lower-cost, higher-yield crude oils In 2010, we ran 86 different crude oils McKee and Ardmore process WTI or other crudes that price at or below WTI Rapid growth in Eagle Ford shale crude oil production lowered crude costs versus comparable imports Discounts are narrowing as pipeline take away capacity increases Valero's Three Rivers and Corpus Christi refineries are positioned to process Eagle Ford oil Grew processing from 0 to 25 MBPD in 1Q11 2Q11: processed 37 MBPD 3Q11: processed 44 MBPD Expect to process 65 MBPD by the end of 2011 and more than 75 MBPD in 1Q12 Evaluating options for Valero's Houston refinery 16 (CHART) Eagle Ford MBPD Three Rivers Increasing Eagle Ford and Reducing Expensive Crude Imports


 

Strong Contribution from Ethanol 17 Large, efficient plants in great location have competitive advantage on costs Acquired world-class ethanol plants at an average of 35% of replacement cost In just 2 1/2 years, cumulative EBITDA was $671 million, or 89% of ethanol plants purchase prices (CHART) Ethanol Operating Income before Depr. & Amort.

Two Hydrocracker Projects Are Progressing on Schedule and on Budget 23 Recently increased planned operating rates from 50,000 BPD to 60,000 BPD for St. Charles and 57,000 BPD (rolling 12-month average per permit) for Port Arthur No additional capital costs Increased capacity improves economics Expect EBITDA to improve by a combined $93 million annually Project internal rate of return expected to improve by 1.6% at Port Arthur and 2.7% at St. Charles Projects remain on schedule and on budget with full impact expected in 2013 Estimate Port Arthur complete 3Q12 and St. Charles complete 4Q12 St. Charles Site Fractionation Column Port Arthur Site


 

Why Valero Is an Excellent Buy Today Good fundamentals, particularly for diesel, with potential upside from economic recovery Improved refinery performance as shown in industry surveys Achieved significant overhead cost savings Increased margin capture via liquid volume yields and lower-cost feedstocks Improving competitiveness of refining portfolio Added quality assets at attractive prices while diversifying business mix and geography: Ethanol, Pembroke, Meraux Returning cash to shareholders via buybacks and dividends Goal to pay one of the highest dividend yields in our peer group Progressing on key growth projects that should add significant earnings and cash flow in late 2012 and 2013 Stock price too low on nearly every valuation metric and doesn't reflect improvements to earnings power 24

Meraux Refinery Utilizes Flexible Feedstock and Product Slate Significant feedstock flexibility Currently processes between 50% and 80% medium sour depending on crude oil economics Remainder typically light sweet grades Pipeline connectivity to LOOP opens ability to process dozens of foreign crude grades in addition to Mars and other U.S. Gulf Coast crudes Can shift product yields between 60/40 and 50/50 mix of gasoline/distillate 40%+ distillate yield is high for typical U.S. refinery Products placed through three main methods: Colonial and Plantation pipelines via equity interest in Collins Pipeline, adjacent product terminal, and refinery dock Refinery produces export-quality diesel that can be loaded via refinery-owned dock Crude oil pipeline expansion in early 2012 Will enable 100% of crude slate to be delivered by pipeline, which frees up capacity at dock facilities to export products 26 (CHART) (CHART)

Made Excellent Ethanol Acquisitions Built position for average of only 35% of estimated replacement cost 2Q09: acquired 7 plants with 780 million gallons per year of world-scale capacity in advantaged locations 1Q10: Added 3 plants with 330 million gallons per year of capacity 31 Favorable margin outlook High crude oil prices support ethanol prices International demand supporting margins 2011 ethanol mandate grows 5% over 2010 Expect demand to outgrow capacity, but blend wall must be addressed To incentivize new builds, margins must be high enough to yield reasonable return on higher-cost, new-build plants Valero's low-cost acquisitions of high-quality plants imply a competitive advantage in any margin environment Provides platform for future production of advanced biofuels


 

Valero's Gulf Coast System Well-Positioned for Global Export Opportunities 32 Our large, complex refineries on Gulf Coast are competitive due to low-cost operations and feedstocks Structural supply-demand imbalance in Latin America and diesel-shortage in Europe provide higher-margin export opportunities Low-cost natural gas is a competitive cost advantage versus other global refiners (CHART) 1Based on 950 MBPD of average total U.S. gasoline and diesel exports from 1Q09 -August 11
