Abstract
A method for determining a preferred gas station comprises determining gas stations in range of a vehicle, receiving one or more factors associated with refueling preferences for a profile associated with the vehicle, the factor being derived at least in part from data associated with previous refueling of the vehicle, comparing the factor with information associated with the gas stations to determine the preferred gas station. A system comprises a receiver configured to enable communications with a remote server and receive a factor associated with refueling preferences, and a processor configured to determine gas stations in range of a vehicle, and compare the factor with information about the gas stations to determine a preferred gas station.
