  • discriminating the discount-triggering items from non-discount-triggering items in a purchase of multiple items during the initial purchase transaction, each of the discount-triggering items having a unique code associated therewith and an associated discount-per-gallon;

    grouping the discount-triggering items in bundles, each bundle comprised of all of the discount-triggering items having the same unique code such that there is provided a bundle for each of the unique codes present in the initial purchase transaction, and wherein each bundle has an associated total bundle discount-per-gallon;

    summing the total bundle discounts-per-gallon for all of the bundles to provide a total discount-per-gallon associated with the initial purchase transaction; and

    applying the total discount-per-gallon in a subsequent purchase transaction for fuel by the customer.
