On CAPS, 98% of the 302 members who have rated Phillips 66 believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just last week, one of those Fools, dylan588, succinctly summed up the Phillips 66 bull case for our community:

There will be a growing demand for gasoline in both domestic and foreign markets. Phillips 66 not only has several refineries to meet this demand, it is in a position to change over to the relatively inexpensive domestic oil from foreign oil. This change alone should add significant profits.
