So what PE do you see the market giving refiners in the long run?

Way back when (a couple of years ago) in the middle of the down cycle, a PE of 8 was considered fair. That PE applied to the GS estimate (12.51) puts VLO over-priced here (8 x 12.51 = 100.08). However, if one thinks 10, 11, 12 or 13 is an appropriate number VLO is good for at least a 20% pop. Next quarter results should include the Premcor addition fully, without right-offs. THEN we should see some improved economies of scale. A well run oil company, that keeps getting better.
