05.01, 05.02, 05.03, 05.04 and 05.05 and supplements thereto,

offered for sale in this State shall meet the standards set
forth in Section 2.1.1.1 or Section 2.1.1.2 of the Uniform
Engine Fuels, Petroleum Products, and Automotive Lubricants

subsequent supplements or revisions, except as specifically

    All leaded and unleaded gasoline sold in this State shall
meet or exceed the following minimum octane numbers:
    Regular Grade 87

be less than 82.0. All gasoline products sold at retail shall
have an octane number displayed.
    (c) Each seller of a motor fuel shall notify the purchaser
of the type and quantity of motor fuel purchased. For gasoline,
the type shall indicate the octane number. This information
shall appear on the bill of lading, manifest, or delivery
ticket for the fuel. This subsection does not apply to sales at
retail.
    (d) All gasoline products shall meet the most recently
adopted ASTM standards for spark-ignition motor fuel, and those
standards adopted under the provisions of the federal Clean Air
Act by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency shall be the
standards of this State in those areas in which the federal
Clean Air Act fuel standards apply.
