1. Displays the highest price of each grade of motor fuel sold from the dispenser prior to any deliberate action of the customer resulting in a discounted price being displayed, provided the dispenser is capable of dispensing and computing the price of motor fuel at more than one price;

2. Displays a sign or label explaining the terms or conditions of any discounted price available to the consumer including whether the price differs based on method of payment or is conditional based on the sale of another product or service;

3. Complies with the requirements of R3-7-704(A)(3) through (A)(6) and (B);

4. Complies with the allowable fuel descriptions indicated in the table in R3-7-704(C);

5. Displays the octane rating of each grade of gasoline; and

6. Displays the legend required by Handbook 130 for motor fuel dispensers that dispense gasoline with lead substitute. The legend shall be presented in block letters on a sharply contrasting background with lettering no smaller than 1/4 inch in height.

B. Motor fuel dispensers that are used exclusively for fleet sales and other price contract sales are exempt from the requirements in subsections (A)(1) and (A)(2).

C. All motor fuels shall meet the labeling requirements of 16 CFR 306. Additionally, the following requirements apply:

1. Gasoline containing ethanol.

a. Gasoline containing greater than 1.5% by weight oxygen or 4.3% by volume ethanol shall be labeled with the following statement to indicate the maximum percent by volume of ethanol contained in the gasoline: "May contain up to _____% ethanol."

b. Gasoline for sale with an ethanol content greater than 10 volume percent and less than or equal to 15 volume percent shall additionally be labeled in accordance with 40 CFR 1090.1510, as it existed on December 4, 2020, and is incorporated by reference and on file with the Division.

3. The label in subsection (C)(1)(a) shall be printed in block letters on a sharply contrasting background with lettering no smaller than 1/4 inch in height.

D. Unattended retail motor fuel dispensers. In addition to all labeling and sign requirements in this Article, the owner or operator of a motor fuel dispensing site that is unstaffed shall post a sign or label at the motor fuel dispensing site, in public view, that conspicuously lists the owner's or operator's name, address, and telephone number.
