Marathon Petroleum (NYSE: MPC) reported third-quarter net income of $7. 4 billion, or $26. 59 per share, up from $1. 4 billion a year ago. Shares rose about 1. 4% in pre-market trading. Higher refining margins, not more volume or lower costs, drove nearly all of it, so the quarter says more about the market than about the business.
