With gasoline imports begining to make a difference in US supply, I took a look a global refining capacity. Found this very interesting paper:

icfi.com

This caught my attention:

For the refining capacity to keep pace with this increase and also maintain the 9 percent surplus capacity over
demand that occurred in 1990-2000, it would need an additional 13.9 million barrels per day capacity to be
built between now and 2010. This would be 50-70 refineries of world scale size.
