MARATHON

Marathon is the daily-driver gas stop in Clinton.

This is the corner station on West Michigan Avenue, the one you pull into for fuel, restrooms, and the quick run inside for coffee or whatever you forgot at home. Marathon runs the standard mix: fueling station with a car wash attached, plus a convenience store and clean restrooms.

Hours are the practical kind. Open every single day from 6 AM to 9 PM, which means it's there for the early morning drive into Tecumseh from the Saline side, the after-work fuel-up before heading home, and the Sunday afternoon stop when you've forgotten the trip needs gas. The car wash is the kind of detail that bumps a gas station from fine to actually useful when the salt season hits.

Clinton sits about 10 minutes west of Tecumseh on US-12, well within the coverage area for anyone building a day around antiquing, country drives, or a stop at the lakes further out. Map the rest of your run on mitecumseh.com.
