[Vwdiesel] Exxon to increase diesel capacity

[DIESELTDI at VERIZON.NET]

 From the Dallas Morning News:

"Exxon Mobil Corp. will announce $1 billion in upgrades to three  
refineries today, including the Baytown, Texas facility, that will  
boost the companies total diesel capacity by 10%.  The Irving (Texas)  
based oil giant will add equipment to its refineries in Baytown, Baton  
Rouge. L.;  and Antwerp, Belgum...Exxon's own diesel forecasts are  
conservative:  Demand in the US will rise 3 percent annually.  The  
company will not cut its capacity to make gasoline at the three  
refineries, but it will reduce heating oil capacity..."

Rest of the article basically covers the current economic conditions  
of refining.  Right now, refineries are breaking even on gasoline but  
that diesel is still making them money as demand has risen almost  
every month this year.  Increased capacity will be good news to us in  
the long run.  Hayden
