Abstract
Indicating a cost to fill a fuel tank of a vehicle. A signal indicating a level fuel contained in the fuel tank of the vehicle can be received from a fuel sending unit. Based on the level of fuel contained in the fuel tank, a quantity of fuel required to fill the fuel tank can be determined. Fuel data can be received. Based on the quantity of fuel required to fill the fuel tank and the fuel data, a cost to fill the fuel tank can be received. A visual indicator indicating the cost to fill the fuel tank can be presented.
Claims29
A method of indicating a cost to fill a fuel tank of a vehicle, the method comprising:

- based on the level of fuel contained in the fuel tank, via a processor, determining a quantity of fuel required to fill the fuel tank;
- receiving fuel data;
- based on the quantity of fuel required to fill the fuel tank and the fuel data, determining the cost to fill the fuel tank;
- and
- presenting a visual indicator indicating the cost to fill the fuel tank.
A system comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- a processor configured to initiate executable operations comprising:
- receiving from a fuel level sending unit a signal indicating a level fuel contained in the fuel tank of the vehicle;
- based on the level of fuel contained in the fuel tank, via a processor, determining a quantity of fuel required to fill the fuel tank;
- receiving fuel data;
- based on the quantity of fuel required to fill the fuel tank and the fuel data, determining the cost to fill the fuel tank;
- and
- presenting a visual indicator indicating the cost to fill the fuel tank.
A computer program product comprising a computer-usable storage medium having stored therein computer-usable program instructions for indicating a cost to fill a fuel tank of a vehicle, the computer-usable program instructions, which when executed by a computer hardware system, causes the computer hardware system to perform:
- receiving from a fuel level sending unit a signal indicating a level fuel contained in the fuel tank of the vehicle;
- based on the level of fuel contained in the fuel tank, via a processor, determining a quantity of fuel required to fill the fuel tank;
- receiving fuel data;
- based on the quantity of fuel required to fill the fuel tank and the fuel data, determining the cost to fill the fuel tank;
- and
- presenting a visual indicator indicating the cost to fill the fuel tank.
