REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Valero Energy Corporation Benefit Plans Administrative Committee:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Valero
Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of changes in
net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and
the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule H, line 4i schedule of assets (held at end of year)
as of December 31, 2007 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department
of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management.
The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

VALERO SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of the Plan
As used in this report, the term Valero may refer, depending upon the context, to Valero Energy
Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole.
Valero Energy Corporation is a publicly held independent refining and marketing company with
approximately 22,000 employees. As of December 31, 2007, Valero owned and operated 17 refineries
in the United States, Canada, and Aruba with a combined total throughput capacity, including
processed crude oil, intermediates, and other feedstocks, of approximately 3.1 million barrels per
day. Valero markets refined products through an extensive bulk and rack marketing network and a
network of approximately 5,800 retail and wholesale branded outlets in the United States, Canada,
and Aruba under various brand names including Valero®, Diamond Shamrock®, Shamrockâ,
Ultramar®, and Beacon®.
Valeros common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol VLO.
The following description of the Valero Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the plan document for a complete description of the Plans provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering eligible employees of Valero. The Plan is subject
to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).
Valero is the plan sponsor. The Valero Energy Corporation Benefit Plans Administrative Committee
(Administrative Committee), consisting of persons selected by Valero, administers the Plan. The
members of the Administrative Committee serve without compensation for services in that capacity.
Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Co., FSB (Merrill Lynch) is the trustee under the Plan and has custody
of the securities and investments of the Plan. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated
is the record keeper for the Plan.
Participation
Participation in the Plan is voluntary and is open to Valero retail employees who have completed
one year of service. Employees are eligible to participate in Valeros employer matching
contributions after completion of one year of continuous service. Effective July 1, 2007, all
newly hired or rehired above-the-store-level retail organization employees are immediately
eligible to participate in the Plan, other than (i) the president of the retail organization,
(ii) his direct reports, and (iii) anyone in a legal counsel position for the retail organization.
The determination of above-the-store-level retail organization employee is made in accordance
with the internal records of the retail organization.
Asset Transfers
From time to time, asset transfers occur between the Plan and the Valero Energy Corporation Thrift
Plan due to the transfer or reemployment of employees to or from retail store positions.
Contributions
Participants can contribute up to 30% of their compensation, as defined in the plan document.
Valero contributes $0.60 for every $1.00 of the participants contribution up to 6% of
compensation. Effective
6
VALERO SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
July 1, 2006, the Plans definition of compensation was revised to exclude unused vacation pay paid
to former employees following a separation from service. Effective January 1, 2008, the definition
of compensation was further revised to include compensation paid by the later of (i) 21/2 months
after an employees severance from employment or (ii) the end of the plan year that includes the
date of the employees severance from employment, if the compensation would have been paid to the
employee during his employment.
Any employee may make rollover contributions to the Plan. Former employees who retain an account
balance under the Plan and who have received or who are eligible to receive a distribution from a
defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Valero are also eligible to make a rollover contribution
to the Plan. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, rollover contributions totaled
$12,703 and $58,397, respectively, and are included in employee contributions in the statements of
changes in net assets available for benefits.
Valero, at the discretion of the Valero Energy Corporation Board of Directors or such other party
as designated by such Board, may make profit-sharing contributions to the Plan to be allocated to
the accounts of the Eligible Members as described in the plan document. For the years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Administrative Committee approved profit-sharing contributions
totaling $3,922,893 and $3,573,517, respectively, which were offset by available forfeitures.
Employer profit-sharing contributions receivable as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were received by
the Plan in March 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) establishes an annual limitation on the
amount of individual pre-tax salary deferral contributions. This limit was $15,500 and $15,000 for
the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Participants who were eligible to make
pre-tax contributions and who attained age 50 before the end of the year were eligible to make an
additional catch-up pre-tax contribution of up to $5,000 for each of the years ended December 31,
2007 and 2006.
Prior to September 4, 2007, Valero made non-cash employer contributions of its common stock;
however, participants could transfer 100% of Valeros employer contributions to any other
investment option offered. Effective September 4, 2007, all employer contributions are made in
cash and are invested according to the investment options elected for the employee contributions.
Forfeitures
In the event a participant terminates before becoming 100% vested in the employer contributions,
the non-vested employer contribution amounts held in the participants account will be forfeited.
If the terminated participant receives a distribution from the vested portion of his account and
subsequently resumes employment, any portion of the participants account forfeited shall be
restored if the participant repays to the Plan the full amount of his distribution within five
years after reemployment. If the participant incurs five consecutive one-year breaks in service or
fails to repay the distribution received from the vested portion of his account, the participant
will permanently forfeit the non-vested portion of his account.
Forfeited amounts are used to reduce future employer contributions or defray Plan administrative
expenses. Employer contributions for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were reduced by
$255,795 and $1,704,888, respectively, related to forfeited non-vested accounts.

VALERO SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Participant Accounts
Employer contributions are credited to an employer account for each participant and employee
contributions are credited to an employee account maintained under the Plan for each participant.
The employer and employee accounts for each participant are adjusted to reflect all contributions,
withdrawals, income, expenses, gains, and losses attributable to these accounts.
Vesting
Participants are vested 100% in their employee account at all times. Participants become 20%
vested in their employer account for each year of service with 100% vesting after five years of
service. Certain participants are subject to accelerated vesting as a result of special Plan
provisions associated with past mergers. Through December 31, 2006, participants vested in 100% of
profit-sharing contributions if and when years of vesting service equaled or exceeded five years.
Effective January 1, 2007, active participants vest 100% in any profit-sharing contributions after
completion of three years of service. A participant will be vested in 100% of his account balance
upon his death, disability, or attainment of normal retirement age, as defined in the plan
document, and termination or partial termination of the Plan, as defined in the plan document.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Plan was amended to include an accelerated vesting rule for
employees of closed retail stores. A participant employed at a retail store whose employment was
terminated in connection with and as a result of the sale or closing of that store during 2005
became 100% vested in his account balance as of the date of termination.
Investment Options
Participants direct the investment of 100% of their employee contributions and may transfer
existing account balances into any of the investment options offered. These investment options
include Valero common stock, common/collective trusts, mutual funds, and the Vanguard Multi-Cap
Core Fund. Investments in the Vanguard Multi-Cap Core Fund are comprised of investments in the
Vanguard PRIMECAP Fund (a mutual fund) and a money market security.
Effective September 4, 2007, participants may not designate more than 20% of their contributions to
be invested in Valero common stock. Transfers into Valero common stock will not be permitted to
the extent a transfer would result in more than 50% of the aggregate value of the participants
account being invested in Valero common stock.
Withdrawals and Distributions
Participants may make the following types of withdrawals of all or part of their respective
accounts:
|
|
|
one withdrawal during any six-month period from a participants after-tax employee
account and rollover contribution account with no suspension of future contributions; |
|
|
|
|
upon completion of five years of participation in the Plan, one withdrawal from a
participants after-tax employee account and employer account, with a similar withdrawal
allowed 36 months after the date of a previous withdrawal under this provision, with no
suspension of future contributions; |
|
|
|
|
upon reaching age 591/2, one withdrawal during any six-month period from a participants
employee account and employer account; or |
8
VALERO SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
|
upon furnishing proof of financial necessity, one withdrawal during any six-month period
from a participants employee account and the vested portion of the employer account, but,
for withdrawals of before-tax amounts, not to exceed the aggregate amount of the
participants before-tax contributions. Individuals who receive a withdrawal for financial
necessity will be suspended from making contributions to the Plan for a period of at least
six months. |
Upon a participants death, total and permanent disability, or retirement, the participant or the
beneficiary of a deceased participant is entitled to a distribution of the entire value of the
participants employee account and employer account regardless of whether or not the accounts are
fully vested. Upon a participants termination for any other reason, the participant is entitled
to a distribution of only the value of the participants employee account and the vested portion of
the participants employer account. Distributions resulting from any of these occurrences may be
received in a single sum in whole shares of Valero common stock and cash, or entirely in cash.
Alternatively, a participant or beneficiary may elect to receive this distribution in the form of
equal monthly installments over a period not exceeding the lesser of (i) five years or (ii) the
participants life expectancy or the joint life expectancy of the participant and the participants
designated beneficiary. In addition, when the value of a distribution to a participant exceeds
$1,000, the distribution may be made prior to the participant attaining age 65 only with the
participants consent.
Terminated participants may elect to have the Plan trustee hold their accounts for distribution to
them at a date not later than April 1 of the calendar year after which they attain age 701/2. In
this event, terminated participants continue to share in the income, expenses, gains, and losses of
the Plan until their accounts are distributed.
In 2006, the Plan was amended to allow for withdrawals of up to $100,000 to qualified participants
who sustained economic losses due to Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and/or Wilma. This withdrawal
election was available to qualified participants prior to January 1, 2007.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow a minimum of $500. The maximum loan amount a participant may have
outstanding is restricted to the lesser of:
|
a) |
|
$50,000, reduced by the excess of (i) the highest outstanding balance of the
participants loans during a one-year period over (ii) the participants then currently
outstanding loan balance on the day any new loan is made, or |
|
|
b) |
|
one-half of the current value of the participants vested interest in his account
balance. |
The participant may elect a repayment term of up to five years for general-purpose loans or up to
15 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loan is secured by a lien on the
participants vested account balance and bears interest at a reasonable rate as determined by the
Administrative Committee, presently at prime plus 1%. As of December 31, 2007, interest rates on
outstanding participant loans ranged from 5.0% to 10.5% and maturity dates ranged from January 2008
to June 2022. Principal and interest is repaid through payroll deductions. A participant can have
two loans outstanding at any time.

VALERO SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Plan Expenses
The Plan pays a portion of its administrative expenses, including trustee fees and administrative
fees. Plan administrative expenses not paid by the Plan are paid by Valero. Valero also provides
certain other services at no cost to the Plan.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The Plans financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with
United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates that affect the amounts of assets and changes therein reported in the financial
statements and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Valuation of Investments
The Plans investments are stated at fair value. Valero common stock is valued at its quoted
market price as of December 31. Shares of mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares
held by the Plan as of December 31. Money market securities and participant loans are valued at
cost, which approximates fair value. The Plans investments in the Merrill Lynch Equity Index
Trust and the Barclays LifePath Portfolios are stated at fair value as determined by the issuers of
the funds based on the fair value of the underlying assets.
As described in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position Nos. AAG INV-1 and
SOP 94-4-1 (FSP), Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain
Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health
and Welfare and Pension Plans, investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be
reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that
portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to
fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants
would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. As
required by the FSP, investments in common/collective trusts that include benefit-responsive
investment contracts are presented at fair value in the statement of net assets available for
benefits as well as the adjustment from fair value to contract value. The
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.
As provided in the FSP, the Plans investment in the Retirement Preservation Trust, a
common/collective trust which is fully benefit-responsive, is presented in the statement of net
assets available for benefits at the fair value of units held by the Plan as of December 31, with
separate disclosure of the adjustment from fair value to contract value, which is equal to
principal balance plus accrued interest. The fair value of the fully benefit-responsive investment
contracts is calculated by the issuer using a discounted cash flow model, which considers (i)
recent fee bids as determined by recognized dealers, (ii) discount rate, and (iii) the duration of
the underlying portfolio securities.
10
VALERO SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Income Recognition
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded
on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments consists of net realized gains and
losses on the sale of investments and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments.
Withdrawals by Participants
Withdrawals by participants are recorded when paid.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plans investments, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit,
and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments,
it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investments will occur in the near term.
The Plan invests in securities with contractual cash flows, such as asset-backed securities,
collateralized mortgage obligations, and commercial mortgage-backed securities, including
securities backed by subprime mortgage loans. The value, liquidity, and related income of those
securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value,
delinquencies or defaults, or both, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the markets
perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
New Accounting Pronouncement
FASB Statement No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. Statement No. 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands
disclosures about fair value measures, but does not require any new fair value measurements.
Statement No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The provisions
of Statement No. 157 are to be applied on a prospective basis, with the exception of certain
financial instruments for which retrospective application is required. The Plan is in the process
of evaluating the impact of Statement No. 157 on the statement of net assets available for benefits
and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

4. Party-in-Interest Transactions
Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds, a money market security, and common/collective
trusts managed by an affiliate of Merrill Lynch, the trustee of the Plan and a party-in-interest
with respect to the Plan. In addition, the Plan allows for investment in Valeros common stock.
Valero, the sponsor of the Plan and a party-in-interest with respect to the Plan, provides
accounting and administrative services at no cost to the Plan. These transactions are covered by
an exemption from the prohibited transactions provisions of ERISA and the Code.
5. Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, Valero has the right under the Plan to
discontinue or reduce its contributions and to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the
provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in
their employer accounts.
6. Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed Valero by a letter dated
September 30, 2002, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Code.
Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Administrative
Committee believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the Code. Valero submitted an application to the IRS in January 2008
requesting an updated determination letter; the application is currently under review by the IRS.

7. Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500
Fully benefit-responsive investment contracts are recorded on the Form 5500 at fair value but are
adjusted to contract value for financial statement presentation. Amounts allocated to withdrawing
participants are recorded on the Form 5500 for benefit requests that have been processed and
approved for payment prior to December 31, but not paid as of that date. Deemed distributions of
participant loans are recorded on the Form 5500 upon default by participants; such amounts continue
to be reported as
participant loans in the financial statements until the participants termination and actual
distribution from the Plan.
The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements
to the Form 5500 Annual Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan:
