(2) It is also unlawful for a supplier to limit or allocate for more than 5 days the quantity of motor fuel available to a reseller purchasing under contract from such supplier, unless the limitations or allocations are applied in a reasonable and nondiscriminatory manner among all resellers supplied by such supplier under contract in a general trade area and the supplier’s own retail outlets.
