Such disclosure will include a separate listing of each component contributing to prices, such as the cost of crude oil, refining, marketing, transportation, equipment, overhead, and profit, along with any rebates, incentives, and market enhancement allowances. Such regulations shall establish procedures for determining the price a supplier charges a dealer which it owns or with which it is affiliated.
