ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a fueling system for automatically providing predefined customer preferences during a fueling operation. These preferences are typically selected by a customer and associated with a remote communication unit, such as a transponder, that is issued to the customer. The preferences may be modified during a fueling transaction. During a fueling transaction, the transponder transmits information that a fueling system uses to automatically provide select information to the customer according to the predefined preferences. As such, the customer associated with the transponder does not have to select information during the transaction that he or she desires. Further, the invention provides for preventing the presentation of select information according to the predefined preferences.
