Abstract
In some examples, a processor on a vehicle may determine, based at least partially on information obtained from a sensor, that a fuel level of the vehicle is increasing. Further, the processor may determine that the fuel level has stabilized for a threshold time. In addition, the processor may determine an amount of fuel added to the vehicle, and may send, over a wireless network to a computing device, a communication indicating the amount of fuel added. In some cases, the computing device may compare the amount of fuel indicated in the communication from the processor with an amount of fuel indicated in information received from a point-of-sale device for determining a difference.
