This regulation applies until the end of 15 April 2016.

A fuel supplier commits an offence if —

during a period of 30 consecutive days that is entirely during summer, the fuel supplier supplies or uses petrol at a place in the Perth area; and

for petrol (other than prescribed blended petrol) — more than 67 kPa; or

for prescribed blended petrol — more than 74 kPa.

For the purposes of subregulation (2)(b), the average Reid Vapour Pressure of petrol supplied or used by a fuel supplier over a period of 30 consecutive days is the average of the Reid Vapour Pressure (ascertained in accordance with regulation 19) of at least 4 samples, taken on separate days at regular intervals in that 30 days, of the petrol supplied or used by the fuel supplier in that time.
