RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) -- Brazilian fuel sales fell to 135 billion liters in 2016, down 4.5% compared to the previous year, led by a sharp drop in sales of hydrate ethanol, national oil agency ANP said on Thursday.
Sales of C-Blend gasoline, which is mixed with ethanol, rose 4.6%. Sales of diesel and hydrate ethanol fell 5.1% and 18.3%, respectively.
