New York Laws
Article 16 - Weights and Measures
192 - Sale and Delivery of Petroleum Products.

(i) post and keep posted on the dispensing device from which such
motor fuel is sold or offered for sale a sign or placard, at least
twelve inches in height and at least twelve inches in width, stating
clearly and legibly with the whole cent numerals at least nine inches in
height and at least two inches in width, the selling price per gallon of
such motor fuel; or
(ii) where such individual pump or dispensing device dispenses more
than two differently priced grades of motor fuel, only the highest and
lowest selling price per gallon of such motor fuel dispensed therefrom
must be posted thereon in conformance with all other provisions of this
subdivision; or
(iii) where a multiple product dispensing device is capable of
dispensing multiple products at multiple prices, then the selling price
per gallon may be posted thereon with numerals at least one-half that
height and one-half that width required by subparagraph (i) of this
paragraph, although numerals representing tenths of a cent may be
displayed at no less than one-half those dimensions which disclose the
selling price per gallon of such motor fuel dispensed therefrom.
The signs and selling prices shall be posted so as to be clearly
visible to the driver of an approaching motor vehicle or motorboat. The
name, trade name, brand, mark or symbol, and grade of quality

classification, if any of such motor fuel shall be permanently imprinted
on said motor fuel dispensing device. The provisions of this subdivision
shall not apply to a city, county, town or village which has already
enacted and continues in effect a local law, ordinance, rule or
regulation in substantial conformity with this subdivision. The
provisions of this subdivision shall be enforced in the counties outside
the city of New York by the county or city director of weights and
measures, as the case may be, and in the city of New York by the
department of consumer affairs.
b. Any person who shall violate the provisions of this subdivision
shall be liable to a civil penalty of not more than one hundred dollars
and for any subsequent violation shall be liable to a civil penalty of
not more than five hundred dollars.
6. Gasoline stations; air pumps required. a. Definition. As used in
this subdivision: "dealer" shall mean any person owning or operating a
premise or facility with four or more gas dispensing nozzles for the
retail sale of motor fuels for use in motor vehicles.
b. Any dealer must provide on the premises where motor fuel is sold at
retail for use in motor vehicles a functioning motor driven air
compressor capable of inflating automobile tires for use by customers
during hours in which such station is open for business. Jurisdiction in
all matters pertaining to this subdivision shall be vested exclusively
in the state. Any provision of any local law or ordinance or any rule or
regulation promulgated thereto governing tire inflation operation or
equipment shall upon the effective date of the chapter of the laws of
two thousand twenty that amended this paragraph be preempted. Nothing in
this section shall be construed to restrict a municipality from
enforcing the provisions of this subdivision as it relates to providing
functioning tire inflation equipment as required by the commissioner.
c. Wilful failure to comply with the provisions of this subdivision
shall subject a dealer to a civil penalty of up to twenty-five dollars
for each day such failure occurs. If the failure to comply results from
the breakdown of the air compressor, the failure to repair within a
reasonable time shall constitute wilful conduct.
