Total SA (TOT) Tuesday said that its European refining margin in the third quarter this year dropped to $10.6 per ton, from $24.1 per ton in the second quarter and $51 per ton a year earlier.

The French oil company also said Brent oil averaged $110.3 a barrel in the quarter, up from $102.4 in the previous quarter and from $109.5 in the third quarter 2012.
