FUEL LOYALTY REWARDS
A processing system for fuel transactions analyzes transactions for symbols indicating a purchase amount and directs information about the purchase to a loyalty platform. The loyalty platform may identify and communicate in real time or near real time with a personal device associated with the purchaser of the fuel. A user interface of the personal device may allow the purchaser to review and select options for processing the fuel purchase using value from a loyalty program account. The selected option may be used to modify fuel purchase parameters prior to settlement of the transaction or simply add points to the user loyalty program account.

Real time fuel additization
A fuel dispensing system includes that receives fuel from a fuel storage tank, and a blending system in fluid communication with the fuel dispensing unit. The blending system including a fuel conveyance device that receives the fuel from the fuel dispensing unit, and an additive conveyance device that pumps a fuel additive to be blended with the fuel based on a volumetric flow rate of the fuel, whereby the blending system provides a product mixture having a known fuel-to-fuel additive ratio. A hose and a nozzle are fluid communication with the blending system to dispense the product mixture.
