Ed found this item on exxon web page seems like they are upgrading refineries since last january for sulphur removal programs.. etc..This is only one of several announcements of refineries buying exxon tech experience to upgrade the removal of sulphur from gasoline etc.

ExxonMobil's SCANfining Technology Selected for Three Low Sulfur Gasoline Projects for Sunoco, Inc.
FAIRFAX, Virginia (January 20, 2003) -- ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company (EMRE) announced today that Sunoco, Inc. has selected EMRE's proprietary SCANfining(*) gasoline sulfur reduction process to be applied at their Philadelphia, Marcus Hook and Toledo refineries. Twenty-six ExxonMobil and EMRE licensee refineries have selected this flexible and robust technology to meet their low sulfur mogas needs for a total of 28 SCANfining units. The SCANfining process selectively removes sulfur from catalytically cracked naphtha while minimizing octane loss. The technology uses a proprietary, selective catalyst (RT-225) jointly developed by EMRE and Akzo Nobel Catalysts and minimizes the loss of octane-rich olefins and hydrogen consumption. The Sunoco units will have the capacity to process approximately 190,000 barrels per stream day of catalytic naphtha.

ps I do not know who wrote the article about concerns of diesel meeting specifications by refineries with changes in 2004 but highly unlikely... If some small refineries are closing it has more to do with profits etc than the change over of specifications imo.
