Valero permanently shut its Benicia California refinery in February, ending that plant's 57-year run of providing fuels to California motorists. Even with that huge loss, the nation's second largest refiner still commands 2.086-million barrels per day capacity in the U.S. Valero lost more branded outlets in 2025 according to our estimates, continuing its shift toward merchant status.
