The requirements under Rule No. 80-13-2-.03(3) above, requiring the posted price per liter and corresponding price per gallon to be posted alongside or adjacent to each other may, at times, be impracticable or work an undue hardship upon the retail seller. In these cases a reasonable deviation from this requirement is authorized. A determination of whether adjacent posting of prices per gallon or liter is impracticable or works an undue hardship on the retail seller, is wholly vested in representatives of the State Department of Agriculture and Industries and their decision shall be final. Also what is a reasonable deviation from the above requirement shall be determined by said Agriculture and Industries Department representatives. Any type of comparative price posting allowing the public to, with no difficulty, compare the liter price with its corresponding gallon price, is deemed to be an allowed reasonable deviation from the requirement of adjacent price posting.
