1. A method for modifying a vehicle operating profile, the method comprising:

  • determining, using processing circuitry, a predetermined energy condition based upon at least one input to the processing circuity;

    determining, using the processing circuitry, a geographic location of a vehicle based upon the at least one input to the processing circuity;

    identifying, using the processing circuitry, at least one energy station as a function of a plurality of factors;

    determining, using the processing circuitry, a vehicle range based on an energy level of the vehicle and a first mode of vehicle operation;

    determining, using the processing circuitry, whether an energy saving condition is satisfied based on the vehicle range, a location of the at least one energy station, and the geographical location of the vehicle;

    entering an economy mode when the energy saving condition is satisfied;

    determining, using the processing circuitry, whether a fill is completed based upon the at least one input to the processing circuity; and

    exiting the economy mode in response to determining that the fill is completed,wherein, in the economy mode;

    the method includes sending a control signal to at least one vehicle system, andthe at least one vehicle system alters at least one operating parameter based upon the control signal.
