1. A method comprising:
- determining that a transaction associated with a purchase of a fuel of a vehicle equipped with a geospatial positioning device is associated with a unique identifier of a fuel card;
comparing a present geospatial location of the vehicle with a situs where the transaction associated with the purchase of the fuel of the vehicle is determined;
when a distance between the vehicle and the situs where the transaction associated with the purchase of the fuel of the vehicle occurs is within a threshold limit;
when the distance between the vehicle and the situs where the transaction associated with the purchase of the fuel of the vehicle is outside the threshold limit; and
generating an alert communication to a party based on a transgression of the vehicle from the threshold limit.

Abstract
A method comprising determining that a transaction associated with a purchase of a fuel of a vehicle equipped with a geospatial positioning device is associated with a unique identifier of a fuel card is disclosed. The method may comprise comparing a present geospatial location of the vehicle with a situs where the transaction associated with the purchase of the fuel of the vehicle is determined when a distance between the vehicle and the situs where the transaction associated with the purchase of the fuel of the vehicle occurs is within a threshold limit. The method may also comprise generating an alert communication to a party based on a transgression of the vehicle from the threshold limit.

3. A method comprising:
-
associating a fuel card with a vehicle equipped with a geospatial positioning device and currently having a situs within a present geospatial location; receiving a geospatial data from the geospatial positioning device indicative of the present geospatial location of the vehicle upon use of the fuel card at a fueling facility within the present geospatial location; determining at least one of a quantity of fuel purchased with the fuel card at the fueling facility within the present geospatial location and a mileage driven by the vehicle since a last fueling such that a preferred fueling facility is determinable based on a future geospatial location of the vehicle; and generating an alert communication to a party comprising the preferred fueling facility based on at least one of a future geospatial location of the vehicle and a planned route associable with the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A system comprising:
-
an association module to associate a fuel card with a vehicle equipped with a geospatial positioning device and currently having a situs within a present geospatial location; a geospatial data module to receive a geospatial data from the geospatial positioning device indicative of a situs of the vehicle upon use of the fuel card at a fueling facility within the present geospatial location; a fuel module to determine at least one of a quantity of fuel purchased with the fuel card at the fueling facility within the present geospatial location and a mileage driven by the vehicle since a last fueling such that a preferred fueling facility is determinable based on a future geospatial location of the vehicle; and a communication module to generate an alert communication to a party comprising the preferred fueling facility based on the future geospatial location of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method comprising:
-
permitting a provider of a fuel card access to a geospatial data indicative of a situs of a vehicle associable with the fuel card within a present geospatial location through a geospatial positioning device inside the vehicle upon use of the fuel card at a fueling facility; utilizing a data link from a base terminal communicatively coupled to the geospatial positioning device such that the geospatial data indicative of a situs of the vehicle associable with the fuel card within the geospatial location is transmitted from the geospatial positioning device to the base terminal via the data link; determining at least one of a quantity of fuel purchased with the fuel card at the fueling facility within the present geospatial location and a mileage driven by the vehicle since a last fueling such that a preferred fueling facility is determinable based on a future geospatial location of the vehicle; and generating an alert communication to a party comprising the preferred fueling facility based on at least one of the future geospatial location of the vehicle and a planned route associable with the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
