MPC President and Chief Executive Officer Gary R. Heminger said the company's
third quarter profitability can be attributed to relatively strong crack spreads
leveraged across the company's entire crude slate, as well as the company's
balance in terms of its geographic location, business integration, and crude oil




sourcing. "During the third quarter, we executed on our ability to process crude
oil produced in the U.S. mid-continent, Canada, and from virtually anywhere else
in the world," Heminger said. "We continued to capture price advantages from
processing heavy and sour crudes, which comprised approximately 50 percent of
the feedstocks we processed in the quarter. In addition, we increased our
throughput of Canadian Heavy and crude priced off of WTI, bringing these to a
combined total of approximately 38 percent of our crude slate during the
quarter, compared to 28 percent during the third quarter of 2010."

Heminger said that MPC's operational performance and flexibility also
contributed to the company's third quarter profitability. "Even as we continued
to leverage price-advantaged crudes, we also have been very successful at
operating safely and efficiently," he said. "Through the third quarter, our
crude units utilization rate was approximately 100 percent, confirming that
disciplined investment in our assets and operational excellence position us to
deliver positive financial results in a variety of market conditions."

MPC's financial performance and confidence in its business model were key
drivers behind the company's decision to increase its quarterly dividend by 25
percent. Heminger said that the increase, announced Oct. 26, reflects the
balanced approach the company intends to pursue between investing in the
business and returning capital to shareholders.

Looking to the future, Heminger noted that MPC's ability to leverage price-
advantaged heavy and sour feedstocks will be further enhanced with the
completion of the Detroit Heavy Oil Upgrade Project (DHOUP) during the second
half of 2012. "With the $2.2 billion DHOUP on budget and on schedule, we are
positioned to process an incremental 80,000 barrels per day of heavy crude once
DHOUP comes on stream," he said. Heminger added that MPC's successful project
execution extends beyond DHOUP and includes a number of other initiatives to
further enhance shareholder value. "Whether it's additional de-bottlenecking
within our refining system, expansion of our retail presence, enhancing our
logistical flexibility, or continuing to focus on overall operational
excellence, we have an ambitious agenda going forward."

Refining & Marketing

Refining & Marketing segment income from operations was $1.71 billion in the
third quarter of 2011, compared with $352 million in the third quarter of 2010.
The increase was primarily the result of a higher refining and marketing gross
margin, which increased to $13.18 per barrel in the third quarter of 2011 from
$3.75 per barrel in the third quarter of 2010.

The main factors contributing to the increase in the gross margin for the third
quarter of 2011 were favorable crude oil acquisition costs and higher crack
spreads. The favorable crude oil acquisition costs resulted primarily from
relatively wider differentials between West Texas Intermediate and other light
sweet crudes, such as Light Louisiana Sweet (LLS), and between sweet and sour
crudes. In addition, the Chicago and U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) LLS 6-3-2-1 crack
spreads increased in the third quarter of 2011 compared with the third quarter
of 2010.

As of Sept. 30, the Detroit Heavy Oil Upgrade Project was 73 percent complete,
and remains on budget and on schedule for an expected completion in the second
half of 2012.

Speedway

Speedway's third quarter 2011 segment income from operations was $85 million,
down $20 million compared to income from operations of $105 million in the third
quarter of 2010. The decrease is primarily attributable to the sale of 166
convenience stores and 67 franchise convenience stores that were part of the
December 2010 sale of the company's Minnesota refinery and related assets.

Speedway's gasoline and distillate gross margin per gallon averaged 12.57 cents
in the third quarter of 2011, compared to 13.73 cents in the third quarter of
2010. In addition to this lower gross margin, lower sales volumes related to the
Minnesota asset disposition also impacted results. Merchandise gross margin of
$200 million was 7 percent lower in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the
third quarter of 2010, also reflecting the effects of the Minnesota asset
disposition.

Same-store gasoline sales volume at Speedway in the third quarter of 2011
decreased 2 percent, compared to an increase of 6 percent in the third quarter
of 2010. The primary factor affecting same-store gasoline sales volume in the
third quarter of 2011 was the higher average retail price of gasoline.

Speedway's same-store merchandise sales increased 2 percent in the third quarter
of 2011, compared with an increase of 3 percent for the third quarter of 2010.

Pipeline Transportation

Pipeline transportation segment income from operations of $56 million was $17
million higher than third quarter 2010 segment income. The increase primarily
reflects the absence of non-routine maintenance and impairment expenses incurred
in 2010, partially offset by a reduction in pipeline equity affiliate
earnings.

Corporate Items

Corporate and other unallocated expenses increased $40 million in the third
quarter of 2011 compared with the third quarter of 2010. Approximately $33
million of the increase relates to costs associated with being a stand-alone
company, including higher information technology, employee benefits, and other
administrative and transition expenses. The remaining balance is due to higher
incentive compensation accruals related to 2011 performance.

Strengthened Financial Position and Liquidity to Fund Operations and Pursue
Strategic Priorities

At Sept. 30, the company had $2.96 billion of cash, an unused $2 billion
revolving credit facility, and an approximately $1 billion unused trade
receivables securitization facility. The company's credit facilities and cash
position should provide the company with significant flexibility to meet its
day-to-day operational needs and pursue its strategic priorities, including
value-enhancing bottom line growth opportunities and returning capital to
shareholders over time. As of Sept. 30, the company's strong financial position
was reflected in a cash-adjusted debt to capital ratio of 3 percent.

present EBITDA on a segment basis because we believe some investors and analysts
use EBITDA to help analyze operating performance and cash flows, including our
ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations with respect to our
indebtedness and to use cash for other purposes, including capital expenditures.
EBITDA is also used by some investors and analysts to analyze and compare
companies on the basis of operating performance and by management for internal
analysis and as a component of financial covenants in our credit agreements.
EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income before
income taxes, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of
financial performance presented in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. EBITDA may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other entities.
