(1) Segment revenues and purchases and related costs include intersegment amounts. Intersegment sales are conducted at posted tariff rates, rates similar to those charged to third parties or rates that we believe approximate market rates. For further discussion, see “Analysis of Operating Segments” under Item 7 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. (2) Supply and logistics segment profit includes interest expense (related to hedged inventory purchases) of $7 million and $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $12 million and $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
