No, Warren Buffett does not own Pilot. In fact, Pilot is owned by a company called Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC). MPC purchased the gas station chain in 2017 for $2 billion and has since then been operating it as its own subsidiary. The acquisition of Pilot made Marathon one of the largest fuel retailers in North America with more than 2,700 locations across 44 states. Although Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway owns shares in MPC, he does not have any direct control or ownership over Pilot. It is worth noting that before the acquisition by MCP, Warren Buffett had actually invested about $350 million into Pilot Flying J back in 2008-2009 when it was still an independent company run by Jimmy Haslam who later sold it to MPC 3 years ago.
