STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH
During 2008, Sunoco reevaluated the composition of its performance peer group and determined that a change
was appropriate. Holly Corporation and Western Refining, Inc. were added because they are primarily refiners and
ConocoPhillips was deleted because of its significantly larger size coupled with its presence in the exploration and
production segment did not make it a good performance peer.

*Assuming that the value of the investment in Sunoco common stock and each index was $100 on December 31, 2003 and that all dividends
were reinvested in additional shares, this graph compares Sunoco’s cumulative total return (i.e., based on common stock price and dividends),
plotted on an annual basis, with Sunoco’s new and former performance peer groups’ cumulative total returns and the S&P 500 Stock Index (a
performance indicator of the overall stock market).
**Western was included in the New Peer Group commencing on January 18, 2006, the date the company completed its initial public offering.
