Title 10, Chapter 1, Section 164
( 10-1-164)
(a) Any sign or placard or other means used to advertise the price
of motor fuel for sale at retail for use in motor vehicles may
contain a separate listing of the price and a separate listing of
each tax thereon, but must contain a total of such price and taxes
which shall be at least as large as the listing of the price or any
tax thereon. Numbers used to advertise the total price of such motor
fuel shall be of uniform size; and, where fractions are used, the
numerator and denominator thereof combined shall be of the same size
as any whole numbers used. It shall not be necessary that a
denominator be used to indicate fractions; but, if one is not used,
the numerator must be at least half the size of the whole number
used. If the price of motor fuel is advertised on any sign,
billboard, placard, or other advertising medium, it shall be
unlawful to place a higher price on any pump dispensing such motor
fuel or to charge a higher price for such motor fuel. Any person
dispensing motor fuel shall not be precluded from giving a discount
from the posted or advertised price if the purchaser of the motor
fuel buys additional merchandise. (b) It shall be unlawful for any person dispensing motor fuel to
advertise upon the purchase of motor fuel either free: (1) Gifts or other products unless such person has sufficient
number of gifts or products on hand to supply the reasonably
expectable demand or the advertisement discloses a limitation of
quantity; or (2) Car washes or other services unless such person is prepared,
in the absence of causes beyond the reasonable control of the
offerer, to perform such car washes or the services advertised at
the time of the purchase at such person's place of business or at
a place of business affiliated by trademark or agreement with such
person. If the free car washes or other services advertised are to
be performed at a place of business affiliated by trademark or
agreement but in a separate location, such fact shall be so stated
on the sign, billboard, placard, or other advertising medium used. (c) Nothing in this Code section shall preclude posting on any pumps
dispensing motor fuel a separate statement of taxes included in the
total purchase price for the purpose of complying with Chapter 8 of
Title 48. (d) The state oil chemist and any and all law enforcement officers
in the State of Georgia are charged with enforcement of this Code
section. (e) Any person, firm, association, or corporation violating this
Code section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. |
