From the Paper:

"The company netted $241 million in refining and $66 million from retail operations in the current nine-month period versus $79 million and $8 million in the first nine months of last year, accounting for the especially attractive P/E ratio. This was mainly due to higher retail gasoline margins of 52 million dollars. These margins averaged 10 cents per gallon during the first nine months of 2003, up 2.8 cents per gallon compared to same period last year. Distillate margins of five million contributed to a $7 million growth in sales. One of the company's leading retailers is the Speedway chain of retail gas stations, which operates many of Sunoco's retail stores."
