1. A method of facilitating fuel consumption, 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.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided wherein a consumable item parameter is exchanged between a consumable item and a consuming device. According to one embodiment, a consumable item parameter request is transmitted to a device associated with a consumable item, and the consumable item parameter is then received. The device may comprise, for example, the consumable item or a device associated with dispensing the consumable item. The device may also comprise, for example, a device associated with a consumption of the consumable item, a device adapted to control a consumption of the consumable item, or a device that consumes the consumable item.
