LANSING – Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today commended Marathon Oil Corporation for reducing the price of regular unleaded gas at their Speedway service stations in Michigan to $2.99 per gallon. Marathon is the largest supplier of gasoline in the state.
This morning, Granholm called on Gary Heminger, executive vice president of Marathon Oil Corporation, to reduce the price of gas for Michigan customers.
“Marathon Oil Corporation today has demonstrated its corporate responsibility in lowering the price of gas and we not only appreciate their effort, but call on other oil companies and service stations to follow their lead,” Granholm said.
The Governor’s energy emergency declaration earlier this week allowed for increased supplies of gas in Michigan, which also contributed to Marathon’s ability to lower prices today.
