Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
a memory that stores code executable by the processor, the code comprising;
code that determines a plurality of routes that a vehicle may traverse to get from a starting point to a selected destination;
code that dynamically calculates a projected mileage that the vehicle will traverse to get from the starting point to the selected destination for each route of the plurality of routes; and
code that determines a cost associated with each route of the plurality of routes based at least in part on the projected mileage for the respective route.

Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for reducing road travel costs. By use of a processor, multiple routes that a vehicle may traverse to get from a starting point to a selected destination are determined. A projected mileage that the vehicle will traverse to get from the starting point to the selected destination for each route is dynamically calculated. A cost associated with each route is determined based at least in part on the projected mileage for the respective route.
