(CHART) Update on Potential Retail Separation Making progress on our plan to separate our retail business as new company called CST Brands, Inc. and unlock potential value for shareholders CST Brands, Inc. (formerly Corner Store Holdings, Inc.) has filed a draft registration statement with the SEC Intend to distribute to VLO shareholders 80% of CST Brands outstanding shares to trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "CST" Valero expects to receive approximately $1.1 billion in cash via new debt on CST Brands and incur a tax liability of approximately $260 million, mainly due to Canadian assets Expect separation to occur in 2Q13, subject to timing of IRS, SEC, and other regulatory agencies Investors and analysts have treated Valero mainly as a refiner, ignoring higher potential value of retail segment as shown in chart below 5 4.2x 5.2x Source: Factset as of 7/19/12, NTM = Next 12-months consensus estimate EV / NTM EBITDA Differential of Retailers versus Valero Energy

Overview of CST Brands, Inc. Expect to be one of the largest independent retailers of transportation fuels and convenience merchandise in North America Nearly 1,900 sites in two geographic segments: U.S. and Canada Retail-U.S. 1,032 company-operated retail sites, of which 81% are owned Sites located in the central and southwest U.S. Retail-Canada Consists of Motorist, Cardlock, and Home Heat businesses in eastern Canada 848 retail fuel sites 768 sites in the Motorist business 80 unattended sites in the Cardlock business 38% of sites are owned and 62% are leased Note: Store count data as of December 31, 2012. 6

CST Brands - Highlights Large scale with nearly 1,900 sites will make it the second-largest publicly traded independent retailer of fuel and convenience merchandise in North America Sites located in geographically diverse regions: the southwestern United States and eastern Canada 61% of U.S. sites are in Texas, which has a relatively favorable economy and attractive demographics for convenience stores Significant ownership of real estate - one of highest in peer group Solid performance track record Competitively positioned with good brand recognition Significant growth opportunities New-To-Industry (NTI) retail site program (estimate 20 or more in 2013) Growing food service and increasing emphasis on in-store merchandise Excellent logistics, private label program, and existing strong core merchandise sales 7

RINflation! - Expect Consumers to Pay Higher Cost of RFS Mandate 8 Situation RFS mandates a specific volume of renewable fuels to be blended with gasoline and diesel Due to lower annual gasoline demand, the mandated renewable volume exceeds the possible blended volume (E-10 and E-85), creating the "Blend Wall" Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) are used to show compliance with mandate RFS mandate is unfair and favors companies that blend more gasoline and diesel than they produce Impact As industry approaches the Blend Wall, the price of RINs has increased dramatically from 3 cents per gallon in 2012 to more than $1 per gallon recently Expect higher prices for gasoline and diesel due to flow-through of higher RINs cost and: High RIN prices economically encourage exports and can lower imports of gasoline and diesel Lower imports and higher exports can reduce supplies and cause fuel prices to increase Valero is impacted as a significant spot seller of unblended gasoline Estimated cost of 2013 RINs between $500 million and $750 million based on recent RINs prices and range of volumes depending on obligation, production, exports, and carryovers Solution EPA's unworkable plan is to use E-15 for vehicles from model year 2001 and newer, but car manufacturers and others in car and small engine industries are not supportive of E-15 The real solution is to either 1) Drop RFS, 2) Reduce RFS, or 3) Move responsibility for compliance from producers/importers to blenders

VLO Well-Positioned to Benefit from Changing Market Trends Atlantic Basin refining closures reducing excess capacity U.S. competitively exporting into growing and undersupplied markets Expect abundant and growing U.S. shale oil and Canadian production to provide feedstock cost advantage Low-cost U.S. natural gas provides competitive advantage Increasing Valero's yield of distillates, which have higher margins and global growth 9

(CHART) Atlantic Basin Closures Reduce Excess Capacity Capacity closures have been concentrated in the Atlantic Basin: U.S. East Coast, Caribbean, Western Europe; expect more will occur Combined with poor reliability and low utilization in Latin American refineries and demand growth in Latin America, creates opportunity for competitive refineries to export quality products 10 (CHART) Sources: Industry and Consultant reports and Valero estimates

Gulf Coast Crude Discounts and Product Margins: 4Q12 to 1Q13 Margins: 4Q12 to 1Q13 Margins: 4Q12 to 1Q13 12 Source: Argus, 1Q13 quarter-to-date pricing is through 3-15-13; Gas crack uses USGC CBOB Valero Gulf Coast Product and Feedstocks vs. ICE Brent In 1Q13, LLS has been pricing at a premium to ICE Brent due to limited trading volumes combined with market impacts such as the recent proration of Seaway pipeline Gasoline cracks have increased, but heavy sour and medium sour discounts have decreased from 4Q12 levels

(CHART) Continued Global Demand Growth Important to Refining Margins 13 Source: Consultant and Valero estimates World Petroleum Demand Growth Emerging markets are taking the lead in terms of global petroleum demand growth, but refining is a global business and world growth impacts refiners in every market because products are generally very storable, transportable, and fungible commodities MMBPD

(CHART) World Refinery Capacity Growth Expect significant new global refining additions in the next several years Mainly new plants in Asia and the Middle East Some investment in Latin America New capacity announcements from Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia will likely be much smaller and much later than originally announced Others very unlikely to happen because of costs: Ecuador, Peru, Algeria, Egypt Asian demand growth has been consuming Asian refining growth Net Global Refinery Additions 14 MMBPD Source: Consultant and Valero estimates; Net Global Refinery Additions = New Capacity + Restarts- Closures

Rapid Growth in U.S. Crude Supply 15 (CHART) Shale oil production growth and Mid-Continent heavy-up projects are rapidly increasing domestic light, sweet crude supplies This has created a bottleneck of crude oil that has exceeded the capacity of inland refineries and needs to move to markets outside of the Mid-Continent NGLs and condensate supplies also increasing rapidly and must move to market Source: Valero estimates; Note: Import volumes include light and medium crudes between 28 and 50 API with less than 0.7% sulfur U.S. GC Light/Medium Sweet Imports 2012 avg. - 449 MBPD (155 MBPD in Dec.)

Rapid Growth in Logistics to U.S. Gulf Coast 16 (CHART) Logistics capacity to move inland crude from the Mid-Continent and Texas to the U.S. Gulf Coast is expanding quickly to debottleneck inland markets Seeing significant rail capacity coming online, particularly in Bakken and Canada Most popular for East and West Coasts destinations, where pipeline access in unlikely, but tends to be higher cost delivery than to Gulf Coast Source: Consultants, company announcements and Valero estimates Note: Import volumes include light and medium crudes between 28 and 50 API with less than 0.7% sulfur U.S. GC Light/Medium Sweet Imports 2012 - 449 MBPD U.S. Total Shale Crude Supply in 2016 (estimated)

Keystone XL Pipeline Keystone XL Pipeline Presidential Permit Delay TransCanada 1,661 mile pipeline that will bring 700,000 bpd of Canadian oil into U.S. markets Expected to create 20,000 U.S. manufacturing and construction jobs; $5.2 billion tax revenue in Keystone corridor states over 20 years Canadian approval granted; waiting on U.S. regulatory approval U.S. Decision postponed until early 2013 Nebraska Governor recommended approval of the route in January 2013 Favorable environmental assessment from State Department in March 2013 Cushing to Gulf Coast leg has been separated from the project, and has started construction. Expected to complete late 2013 Expect to use rail and other pipeline options if not approved 18 Source: TransCanada Corporation Western Gateway to Kitimat Trans Mountain to Vancouver Enbridge working to expand capacity to U.S. as well

Valero has increased the amount of domestic light crudes processed as additional volumes have become available In 4Q12, Valero did not process foreign light crudes at its Gulf Coast and Memphis refineries Valero is evaluating potential projects to further increase its domestic light crude processing capacity Valero's Ability to Run Discounted Light Crude at Gulf Coast and Memphis Refineries 19 (CHART) Actual Volumes Processed

Lower-Cost Natural Gas Provides Structural Advantage to U.S. Refiners 20 Note: Per barrel cost of 700,000 mmBtus/day of natural gas consumption at 90% utilization (2,529 MBPD) of Valero's capacity $1.5 billion higher pre-tax annual costs $3.1 billion higher pre-tax annual costs Expect U.S. natural gas prices will remain low and disconnected from global oil and LNG prices for foreseeable future VLO refinery operations consume up to 700,000 mmBtus/day of natural gas at full utilization, split roughly in half between operating expense and gross margin Increased from 600,000 with the addition of hydrocrackers at Port Arthur and St. Charles

Distillates Have Higher Margins and Faster Growth 21 Distillate (diesel, kero, jet fuel) margins are significantly higher than gasoline Distillate demand growth rate is much higher than gasoline Europe continues to be short diesel, but long marginal refining capacity and processing expensive crude oils and natural gas (CHART) Source: Argus, 2013 YTD through March 15, 2013 /bbl (CHART) World Product Demand Growth /year

57,000 BPD Port Arthur hydrocracker completed and operating at or above expectations With recent price environment and current unit performance, project is meeting or exceeding economic expectations Diesel quality is higher than expected Provides blending opportunity to upgrade margin on lower-quality distillate production Total distillate yield higher than expected Estimate 60,000 BPD St. Charles HCU mechanical completion and operating in 2Q13 Both hydrocrackers were designed to benefit from the price outlook of high crude and low natural gas Pursuing projects to expand capacity of each unit to 75,000 BPD in 2015 Successfully Completed Port Arthur Hydrocracker 22 St. Charles Port Arthur

Valero Increasing Distillate Yields 23 (CHART) Source: Company Reports and EIA, yield data is for 2010; gasoline and distillate as a percent of total production volumes; distillate includes jet fuel Valero's refining system distillate yields are expected to grow from 33% in 2010 to 39% in 2013 Primary driver for increase is the completion of hydrocracker projects Recent acquisitions have also increased distillate yields (CHART)

Better Better Our goal is to be a 1st-quartile refiner Refining industry benchmark studies show our portfolio continues to improve Seven refineries currently operating in 1st quartile for mechanical availability, the most important Solomon metric Saw results from improvement initiatives in 2011 and 2012 2011 was first full-year with 1st quartile portfolio performance in mechanical availability 2012 is best-ever energy efficiency for refining portfolio Excluding Meraux downtime in 3Q12, mechanical availability would have remained 1st quartile in 2012 Working diligently on weaker performers to improve entire portfolio Improving Refinery Operations 24 1st Quartile 2nd Quartile 1st Quartile 2nd Quartile 3rd Quartile 3rd Quartile Source: Solomon Associates and Valero Energy; excludes Aruba

Expect Large Decline in Capital Spending in 2013 25 "Stay- in- business" spending 2012 capital high due to spending on growth projects, mainly on two new hydrocrackers For 2013, largest category of strategic/growth spending is for logistics projects (pipelines, tanks, docks and rail), domestic crude processing expansions and completion of the St. Charles hydrocracker ($150 million moved from 2012 to 2013) 2013 Retail (U.S. and Canada) capital estimated at approximately $200 million with about 75% in the strategic/economic growth category $1,540 $1,645 $1,625 Decline

Managing Financial Strength and Growing Cash Yield Expect significant contributions of free cash flow from reduced capital spending and earnings from major capital projects in 2013 Returning cash to shareholders Increased quarterly dividend from $0.05 per share in 2Q11 to $0.20 per share in 1Q13 Bought 5.8 million shares for $257 million so far in 2013, and 27.3 million shares for $628 million in 2011 and 2012 combined Goal is to have one of the highest cash yields among peers via dividends and buybacks $1.7 billion of cash and $5.7 billion of additional liquidity on December 31, 2012 Maintaining investment grade credit rating is a priority Reduced debt by $558 million in 2012 Paid off $180 million of debt in January 2013 and plan to pay off an additional $300 million in 2Q13 Net debt-to-cap ratio at 12/31/12 was 22.7% Far below credit facility covenant of 60% No other coverage-type ratios or borrowings on bank revolver Retail spin-off to shareholders planned for 2Q13 Returning more value to shareholders 26 (CHART) Cash Returned to Shareholders (CHART) Source: 2013 EPS estimates from First Call as of 3-18-13

Valero's Strategic Priorities 27 Constant focus on safety, environmental, and regulatory compliance Maintain investment grade credit rating Continue improvement in refining portfolio performance to 1st quartile levels Complete major, value-added capital projects Improve portfolio performance Evaluate options for poor performing assets Evaluate attractively priced, strategic, and accretive acquisitions with strong synergies Continue to upgrade product streams Continue to return available cash to shareholders, with high yield vs. peer group Goal: Increase long-term shareholder value

We Believe Valero Is an Excellent Buy Today Seeking shareholder value creation via retail separation Well-positioned to benefit from changing market trends Atlantic Basin capacity closures have improved refining fundamentals Benefiting from strong export market/strong competitive position of U.S. refining Expect abundant U.S. shale and Canadian crude oil production to provide a cost advantage to U.S. Gulf Coast refiners versus foreign and U.S. East and West Coast refiners Investing in projects to improve access and capability to process local, cost- advantaged crude oils Valero's hydrocracker projects take advantage of low-cost natural gas and high distillate demand and margins Improving performance of refining portfolio Key growth projects and falling capital expenditures should contribute significant free cash flow in 2013 Expect to return more cash to shareholders Goal to have one of the highest cash yields among peers (buybacks and dividends) Retail spin, basically dividend to shareholders 28

The transition of the U.S. refining system to being a net exporter to the world market has mitigated the impact of declining domestic demand Large quantities of U.S. diesel and gasoline exports to Latin America and diesel exports to Europe Strong international demand has been "pulling" products and paying higher values than in the U.S Valero's share of U.S. exports has averaged 20% to 25% over the past few years U.S. Shifted to Net Exporter 45 (CHART) U.S. Demand for Refined Products and Net Trade MMBPD U.S. Petroleum Demand Excluding Ethanol and Non-Refinery NGL's (Refined Product Demand) Net Imports Net Exports Implied Total Production of U.S. Refined Products Note: Implied production = Petroleum demand excluding ethanol and non-refinery NGLs minus product net imports; Source: EIA, Consultant and Valero estimates Implied Production of U.S. Refined Products for Domestic Use

U.S. Refining Capacity Is Globally Competitive 46 U.S. refiners in PADDs 2, 3, and 4 have higher utilization due to structural advantages of increasing access to discounted crude feedstocks and low-cost energy via natural gas PADD 1 and Europe have lower utilization due to structural disadvantages of higher crude oil and operating costs Industry capacity expansions will continue to put pressure on marginal refineries in less- competitive regions, including recent restarts of previously closed capacity Source: EIA and IEA, data as of December 2012 (CHART) Refinery Utilization by PADD, Trailing 12-months These regions have less- competitive capacity "Mid-con" "Gulf Coast" "West Coast" "Rockies" "East Coast"

(CHART) Expect U.S. and Canadian Crude Supply to Provide Feedstock Cost Advantage 47 Light/Medium Sweet Crude Imports to U.S. Gulf Coast Movements of inland crude to the U.S. Gulf Coast have caused Gulf Coast light/medium sweet crude imports to decline by about 1 MMBPD since 2010 Expect all Gulf Coast light/medium crude imports could be pushed out of PADD III in 2013 Expect cost of Gulf Coast light crudes will go from structural ~$2/bbl premium to structural discount under Brent Expect Brent priced light sweet crudes to set global prices for waterborne crude and feedstocks LLS may not be a good marker for Gulf Coast light crudes with abundant supply into Texas Note: Import volumes include light and medium crudes between 28 and 50 API with less than 0.7% sulfur

U.S. Crude and Natural Gas Production - Tight Oil Supply Growth The furthest along in development are in North Dakota (Bakken) and South Texas (Eagle Ford) Each could see 500+ MBPD of growth in the next few years and potentially more thereafter Utica (Ohio) is potentially a large play, but is not as far along in development and oil production results so far have been weak Permian Basin - potentially huge Source: Map from CERA Shale Oil Plays in North America Expect supply growth will exceed regional demand, and excess will clear toward the Gulf Coast, pushing out imports The new U.S. shale plays are located in places that should provide additional barrels into the Rockies and Gulf Coast - pressuring crude imports and lowering natural gas prices 48
