Valero is on the stock exchange. Interesting company, they now own almost all the refining capability in the US (by recent aquisition). They have the only refineries that can handle low grade crude too which is what we pump out here in the west. A very good energy stock. They have moved into retail sales too. Lots on Google.

If $2.79 is time for a revolt, $3.50 is time for a revolution.


Most Allaince have Trick 101. Use your math skills and find out how much of each grade you need to get to 93. I'll get you started with the formula...
x91 + y101 = z93

Haha, j/k. But that is a way to do it. 101 is about $5.50 a gallon BTW.
