Non-GAAP Financial Measures EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure provided in this presentation. A reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measure is included in the Appendix to this presentation. EBITDA is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income attributable to MPC, net cash provided by operating activities or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The EBITDA forecasts related to certain projects were determined on an EBITDA-only basis. Accordingly, information related to the elements of net income, including tax and interest, are not available and, therefore, reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest GAAP financial measures have not been provided.


 
Strategic Actions Announced in January  Significantly accelerate dropdowns to MPLX  Exchange of MPC’s economic interest in the general partner (GP) for MPLX LP units in conjunction with completion of accelerated dropdowns  Conduct a full and thorough Speedway evaluation 3


 
Strategic Actions – Status Update 4 1 Adjusted EBITDA with respect to joint-interest ownership in certain pipelines and storage facilities is calculated as cash distributions adjusted for maintenance capital, growth capital and financing activities 2 MPC total shareholder return versus average of refining peers (HollyFrontier, PBF Energy, Phillips 66, Andeavor (formerly Tesoro) and Valero) from December 30, 2016 through September 1, 2017 3 All transactions subject to requisite approvals, market and other conditions, including tax and other regulatory clearances 1Q17 2Q17 3Q17 4Q17 1Q18 1st dropdown in March - transaction value of $2.015 B ~$250 MM annual EBITDA ~8x EBITDA multiple Share repurchases of $420 MM 2nd dropdown in September - transaction value of $1.05 B ~$138 MM annual adjusted EBITDA1 ~7.6x adjusted EBITDA multiple Completion of Speedway evaluation Intend share repurchases of $450 MM in 3Q17 Share repurchases of $750 MM; expanded board authorization by $3 B Dropdown of remaining ~$1 B of annual EBITDA Continue substantial return of capital including share repurchases of $550 MM in 4Q17 IDR exchange for LP units expected in conjunction with completion of dropdowns • $1.55 B returned to shareholders in first half of 2017 • MPC stock has outperformed refining peers by 6%2


 
Speedway Evaluation Process Overview  Established an independent Special Committee – Five independent directors of the MPC Board; no executive management on committee – Held 11 meetings since formation – Special Committee provided recommendation to MPC Board of Directors  Engaged independent financial and legal advisors – Special Committee - JP Morgan, financial advisor; Jones Day, legal advisor – Company - Citigroup, financial advisor; Ernst & Young and Crowell & Moring, tax advisors  Multiple Speedway separation alternatives evaluated versus Speedway retention  Negotiated a potential fuel supply agreement between MPC and Speedway – Engaged IRS in formal Private Letter Ruling (PLR) process including consideration of fuel supply agreement  Key considerations for evaluation of Speedway separation versus retention: – Tax-free treatment of potential separation Pro forma valuation of both entities – Pro forma leverage management Balance sheet and liquidity – Dividend policy Synergy value loss – Earnings and cash flow diversification  Ultimate goal of evaluation – long-term shareholder value maximization 5


 
Board’s Conclusion  Maintaining Speedway as an integrated business within MPC drives the greatest long-term value for MPC shareholders – Substantial integration synergies (~$270 - $390 MM per year1) – Speedway is operated as a best-in-class retailer, delivering substantial value – Speedway’s performance is transparent, easy to understand and value – Leverage and liquidity requirements of a Speedway separation would include a net use of cash – Supply agreement provides only a temporary, partial offset to lost synergies – Cash flow diversification provides significant value, as seen in recent commodity cycle downturn – Speedway’s strong growth prospects are not impeded remaining part of MPC – Separation does not present compelling long-term value proposition  MPC has an ongoing plan to significantly increase shareholder value – and is aggressively executing that plan 6 1 Values reflect estimated integration synergy value loss following an initial supply agreement


 
Tax Considerations of a Potential Separation  Engaged Ernst & Young and Crowell & Moring to explore tax-free separation – Value impact of a separation if treated as taxable would be significant, potentially over $5 B in total borne by MPC and its shareholders  Submitted request to IRS for a PLR on a potential separation – PLR process provides IRS’ view on requested rulings – Explored to understand the potential volume and term limits of a post-spin arms-length relationship and the depth of requirements for tax-free separation  MPC and Speedway negotiated a potential post-spin supply agreement as part of the exploration of the separation process  Our analysis indicates any supply agreement structured in pursuit of tax-free separation would be market-based and arm’s length – Such a conventional supply agreement would be limited in term and volume, providing only a temporary offset to lost synergies 7


 
Speedway Integration Synergy Value 8  Integration synergy value loss beyond term of an initial supply agreement is substantial (~$270 - $390 MM per year)  Vertical integration synergies – Wholesale volume – Production and supply optimization • Production of high-value products • Ratability of production • Opportunistic supply optimization – Midstream asset utilization  Net SG&A expense synergies – IT, purchasing, insurance, etc. 34% 48% 12% 6% % of Total Annual Synergies (Midpoint) Wholesale Volume Production & Supply Optimization Midstream Asset Utilization Net SG&A


 
Speedway Integration Synergy Value 9 Description Annual Value Loss1 ($ millions) Wholesale volume Value uplift captured by MPC wholesale sales to Speedway ~$105 - $120 Production and supply optimization Value MPC’s refineries, supply, and marketing groups create through assured Speedway sales, including high-value products and production and supply optimization, especially during market dislocations ~$105 - $210 Midstream asset utilization Value generated from the transportation and storage of assured Speedway volumes through owned midstream assets ~$40 Net SG&A Efficiencies in administrative and overhead costs resulting from integrated operations ~$20 Total ~$270 - $390 1 Values reflect estimated integration synergy value loss following an initial supply agreement


 
Leverage and Liquidity Impacts of Separation  MPC is committed to maintaining its current investment grade credit profile  Speedway’s contribution to diversified cash flows is an important component of MPC’s risk profile for rating agencies and fixed income investors – MPC placed on negative outlook by Moody’s and negative watch by Fitch post January 3 announced strategic actions  Speedway separation would require: – At least $2.5 billion of incremental debt pay down at pro forma MPC • To manage pro forma leverage targets and maintain existing investment grade credit profile – At least $1.0 billion increase in targeted cash balance at pro forma MPC • Due to increased risk profile without stable Speedway cash generation 10


 
Illustrative Cash Impact of Separation 11 Pro Forma MPC ($ millions) Sources Uses Cash Distribution from Speedway $3,0001 Debt Reduction ($2,500)2 Cash to Balance Sheet ($1,000)3 One Time Debt Tendering and Transaction Costs ($240)4 Retained Cash from Operations (otherwise returned to shareholders or reinvested in the business) $740 Total $3,740 ($3,740) 1 Represents estimated value of tax efficient return of basis from Speedway upon separation 2 Debt reduction beyond $2.5 billion may be needed post agency adjustments 3 Incremental cash to balance sheet (core liquidity) based on analysis of volatility in historical refining margins, input from financial advisors 4 Tender and transaction costs are estimates and subject to market conditions Speedway separation requires substantial leverage reduction and additional liquidity at pro forma MPC


 
 Stable retail business segment – transparent, easy to understand and value  MPC provides transparency into Speedway operating and financial performance consistent with public retail peers  Sell-side research places Speedway value within a tight band (8.0-10.5x)  Any potential discount to full standalone retail valuation is not compelling when considering synergy loss, debt repayment, and liquidity requirements upon separation Speedway Valuation 12 Median = 9x 0 5 10 A B C D E F G H I J K L E V /E B IT D A M ul ti pl e Sell-Side Analyst

Summary  Thorough review of Speedway was conducted  Board’s conclusion: Speedway as an integrated business within MPC drives the greatest long-term value for MPC shareholders  Significant opportunities to continue value-enhancing/aggressive investment in Speedway  Continue our action plan to deliver significant value to MPC shareholders – Complete dropdowns of assets generating ~$1.4 B (~$400 MM completed) of annual MLP- qualifying EBITDA – Exchange MPC’s economic GP interests in MPLX for MPLX LP units – Continue delivering best-in-class operational execution – Continue substantial ongoing return of capital to MPC shareholders in a manner consistent with maintaining investment grade credit profiles at MPC and MPLX • Intend to repurchase $1.0 B of additional shares by the end of 2017 with consideration of additional share repurchases in fourth quarter subject to operating performance and market conditions • Further return of capital planned with after-tax cash proceeds from the remaining dropdowns expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2018 14
