Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Event | SUBSEQUENT EVENT On October 31, 2019, we announced plans to separate our retail transportation fuel and convenience store business, which is operated primarily under the Speedway brand, into an independent, publicly traded company. The transaction is intended to take the form of a tax-free distribution to MPC shareholders of publicly traded stock in the new independent retail transportation fuel and convenience store company. The transaction is expected to be completed by year-end 2020, subject to market, regulatory and certain other conditions, including final approval by the MPC Board of Directors, receipt of customary assurances regarding the intended tax-free nature of the transaction, and the effectiveness of a registration statement to be filed with the SEC. The Speedway business is currently a reporting unit within our Retail segment. Subsequent to the completion of the separation, the historical results of the Speedway business will be presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements.
