Motor gasoline sales, which accounted for about 42% of the total, remained unchanged compared with the same month a year earlier.
Light fuel oil posted the largest decline (-15.2%) followed by petrochemical feedstock and the "other products" category, which is composed of mainly unfinished petroleum products.
