Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Description of business — Murphy USA Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Murphy USA”, "we", "us", "our" or the “Company”) markets refined products through a network of retail gasoline stores and to unbranded wholesale customers. In addition, we operate non-fuel convenience stores in select markets. The Company owns and operates a chain of retail stores under the brand names of Murphy USA® and Murphy Express, most of which are located in close proximity to Walmart stores, and also has a mix of convenience stores with and without retail gasoline that operate under the name of QuickChek®. At September 30, 2023, the Company had a total of 1,724 Company stores of which 1,568 were branded as Murphy and 156 were the QuickChek brand. The Company also has certain product supply and wholesale assets, including product distribution terminals and pipeline positions. Basis of Presentation — Murphy USA was incorporated in March 2013 and, in connection with its incorporation, Murphy USA issued 100 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to Murphy Oil Corporation (“Murphy Oil”) for $1.00. On August 30, 2013, Murphy USA was separated from Murphy Oil through the distribution of 100% of the common stock of Murphy USA to holders of Murphy Oil stock. Murphy USA Inc., Murphy Oil USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries operate on a calendar year basis, while the QuickChek subsidiary uses a weekly retail calendar where each quarter has 13 weeks. For the three month period ended September 30, 2023, the QuickChek results cover the period July 1, 2023 to September 29, 2023 and the 2023 year-to-date period began December 31, 2022. For the three month period ended September 30, 2022, the QuickChek results cover the period July 2, 2022 to September 30, 2022 and the 2022 year-to-date period began January 1, 2022. The difference in timing of the period ends is immaterial to the overall consolidated results. In preparing the financial statements of Murphy USA in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management has made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Interim Financial Information — The interim period financial information presented in these consolidated financial statements is unaudited and includes all known accruals and adjustments, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of Murphy USA and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No. 001-35914), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on February 15, 2023. Recently Issued Accounting Standards—  In August 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606. Under Topic 606, the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the contracts. This is a departure from the current requirement to measure contract assets and contract liabilities at fair value. This ASU was effective for the Company for the year beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company has determined this did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
