Section 102.22. Discrimination.

 

(1)  No supplier or wholesaler of motor fuel shall enter into any agreement or arrangement whereby directly or indirectly discrimination is made in the price at which said supplier or wholesaler sells motor fuel to wholesalers or retailers thereof, where the effect of such discrimination may be to substantially lessen competition or to tend to create a monopoly, or to injure, destroy or prevent competition with any person in the marketing of motor fuel in the community in which said supplier or wholesaler is thus selling at a lower price; provided, that it shall be a justification for such a discrimination in price if the difference, made by said supplier or wholesaler in the price to the wholesaler or retailer to whom said supplier or wholesaler sells at a lower figure, is merely commensurate with an actual difference in the quality or quantity of motor fuel sold to said wholesaler or retailer or in the transportation charges or other expenses of marketing involved in the sale to said wholesaler or retailer. Nothing herein contained shall prevent a seller from showing that the lower price was made in good faith to meet an equally low price of a competitor.

(2)  No person any part of whose business is the sale of motor fuel to wholesalers shall sell motor fuel for ultimate consumption or use at a price lower than that at which he or she sells to such wholesaler unless such lower price is justified as provided in sub. (1) .
