SUNOCO REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2007 RESULTS

PHILADELPHIA, August 1, 2007 — Sunoco, Inc. (NYSE: SUN) today reported net income of $509 million ($4.20 per share diluted) for the second quarter of 2007 versus $426 million ($3.22 per share diluted) for the second quarter of 2006. For the first half of 2007, Sunoco reported net income of $684 million ($5.63 per share diluted) versus $505 million ($3.80 per share diluted) in the first half of 2006. Excluding special items, 2007 first half income was $594 million ($4.89 per share diluted). There were no special items in the second quarter of 2007 or the first half of 2006.

“The record quarterly result was largely driven by earnings of $482 million in Refining and Supply,” said John G. Drosdick, Sunoco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Lower-than-normal refined product inventories and continued healthy demand led to very strong realized margins in both the Northeast and MidContinent systems. Non-refining business unit earnings totaled $59 million in the second quarter, with the largest contribution coming from Retail Marketing as retail gasoline margins improved in the latter half of the quarter.”

Commenting on the progress of the Refining and Supply capital program in the first half, Drosdick said, “After completing project work, the newly-expanded and modified Philadelphia fluid catalytic cracking unit was restarted in mid-April and contributed approximately $15 million of additional net income during the May/June trial and phase-in period. In the MidContinent system, final tie-in work on the Toledo refinery crude unit debottleneck project was completed in early July while the Tulsa refinery also returned to full operation after being down in June for planned maintenance.

“The completion of these major capital projects has significantly enhanced the earnings power of our refining assets. We are currently operating at full production levels and have no further significant maintenance activity planned for the remainder of the year.

“We also continued to execute our long-standing share reduction program in the second quarter, repurchasing 1.2 million shares for approximately $100 million. In the last twelve months, Sunoco has reduced its net shares outstanding by 8 percent. The remaining share repurchase authorization is currently $849 million and we continue to view this as an integral part of our strategy to enhance shareholder value.”

DETAILS OF SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

REFINING AND SUPPLY

Refining and Supply earned $482 million in the second quarter of 2007 versus $409 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in earnings was due to higher realized margins, particularly in the MidContinent, partially offset by lower production volumes and higher expenses. The lower volumes were mainly the result of work early in the quarter to complete the expansion and modification of a fluid catalytic cracking unit at the Philadelphia refinery as well as turnaround work at the Tulsa refinery in June. The work at the Philadelphia refinery reduced second quarter 2007 production by approximately 1.5 million barrels, while the turnaround at the Tulsa refinery negatively impacted second quarter production by approximately 2.3 million barrels. The higher expenses were largely the result of costs associated with the turnaround and expansion work and increased operating costs to produce low-sulfur fuels.

RETAIL MARKETING

Retail Marketing earned $30 million in the second quarter of 2007 versus $10 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in earnings was primarily due to higher average retail gasoline margins and $12 million of after-tax divestment gains attributable to the Retail Portfolio Management program. Monthly gasoline and diesel throughput per company-owned or leased outlet increased approximately six percent versus the second quarter of 2006.

CHEMICALS

Chemicals earned $6 million in the second quarter of 2007 versus $8 million in the prior-year period. Slightly higher margins were offset by higher expenses and the absence of a $4 million deferred tax benefit recognized in the second quarter of 2006 as a result of a state tax law change.

LOGISTICS

Earnings for the Logistics segment were $10 million in the second quarter of 2007 versus $12 million in the second quarter of 2006. The decrease was largely due to lower crude oil acquisition and marketing results, partially offset by higher earnings from terminalling operations.

COKE

The Coke business earned $13 million in the second quarter of 2007 versus $10 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in earnings was due primarily to higher tax benefits from domestic cokemaking operations. Also contributing to the increase was income from the 1.7 million tons-per-year cokemaking facility in Vitória, Brazil, which commenced start-up of operations in the first quarter of 2007. Full production is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2007.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

Corporate administrative expenses were $18 million after tax in the second quarter of 2007 versus $11 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher expenses for performance-related incentive compensation.

Net financing expenses were $14 million after tax in the second quarter of 2007 versus $12 million after tax in the second quarter of 2006. Lower interest income was partially offset by lower expenses attributable to the preferential return of third-party investors in Sunoco’s cokemaking operations.

SIX MONTH RESULTS

Sunoco earned $684 million, or $5.63 per share of common stock on a diluted basis, for the first six months of 2007 versus $505 million, or $3.80 per share, in the comparable 2006 period. The increase was primarily due to higher margins for wholesale fuel and retail gasoline and a gain related to the prior issuance of Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (NYSE: SXL) limited partnership units. Partially offsetting these positive factors were lower refined product volumes and higher expenses.

SPECIAL ITEM

During the first quarter of 2007, Sunoco recognized a $90 million after-tax gain related to the prior issuance of limited partnership units of Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. to the public. Sunoco currently has a 43 percent interest in Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P., which includes its 2 percent general partnership interest.
