Bigger fine for below-cost fuel sales

Beginning Nov 1, 2025, advertising, offering, or selling motor fuel below your "cost to the retailer" is a misdemeanor. Retailers and wholesalers can be fined up to $1,000 per violation. "Motor fuel" follows the state tax code definition. The $500 maximum fine for selling other goods below cost still applies.

New cost rules for retailers and wholesalers

Beginning Nov 1, 2025, the Unfair Sales Act uses a new cost formula. Use the lower of invoice cost or replacement cost within the last 30 days. Subtract trade discounts (not cash discounts). Add freight not on the invoice and cartage to the store. Cartage is deemed 0.75% of cost after adding freight but before cartage and taxes, unless you prove a different amount. Add any state and federal taxes not already included, then add a 6% markup for business costs. The law also clarifies who counts as a retailer or wholesaler and how bundle pricing is handled.
