Systems and methods wherein a consumable item parameter is exchanged between a consumable item and a consuming device

A computer-implemented method of facilitating fuel consumption, comprising:

• transmitting via a wireless device an ambient condition parameter request to a device associated with dispensing fuel;
• receiving the ambient condition parameter, the ambient condition parameter comprising information usable to improve a consumption of the fuel;
• receiving the fuel;
• and
• improving consumption of the fuel based on the ambient condition parameter.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a storage device in communication with said processor and storing instructions adapted to be executed by said processor to:
• transmit an ambient condition parameter request from a consuming device to a fuel dispenser;
• receive the ambient condition parameter from the fuel dispenser;
• receive fuel from the fuel dispenser;
• and
• adjust at least one consumption parameter based on the ambient condition parameter such that a way in which the fuel is consumed by the consuming device is adjusted.

A medium storing instructions adapted to be executed by a processor to perform a method of facilitating fuel consumption, said method comprising:

• transmitting an ambient condition parameter request from a consuming device to a fuel dispenser;
• receiving the ambient condition parameter from the fuel dispenser;
• receiving fuel from the fuel dispenser;
• and
• adjusting at least one consumption parameter based on the ambient condition parameter such that a way in which the fuel is consumed by the consuming device is adjusted.
