System and methods for delivering fueling plans

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating a fueling plan based on navigation data for the trip, fuel type data for the vehicle, and fuel price data for fuel locations within a geographic threshold of the trip. The fueling plan may include a selected fuel location. For instance, the system may determine, based on the fuel type data, that the vehicle cannot reach the selected fuel location. In response to this determination, the system may automatically configure the vehicle to reduce fuel consumption. In some embodiments, this may include limiting acceleration of the vehicle, limiting speed of the vehicle, or modifying the operation of non-critical systems and services, such as shutting down the AC, opening or closing windows of the vehicle, limiting the number of built-in screens which are consuming content or disabling the functionality of some or all the screens, disabling media streaming functionality or auxiliary functionality such as pairing a phone with the infotainment system, disabling device chargers, etc.
