Claim 6:
7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by at least one electronic processor to perform a set of functions, the set of functions comprising:
receiving historical competitors' fuel prices for one or more of competitor's fuel stores, through a network, from one or more third-party data subscription feeds, historical competitors' fuel price for each day of a set of days within a time period for each of one or more of competitors' fuel stores;
receiving historical store fuel prices for one or more fuel stores, through a network, from one or more sources, historical store fuel prices including a historical store fuel price for each day of a set of days within a time period for each of the one or more store fuel stores;
receiving historical store fuel volume data for the set of days for the one or more store fuel stores;
generating a fuel price forecast, by the processor, for the one or more fuel stores, wherein the fuel price forecast is processed through a machine learning module based on one or more of the following inputs: store number, date, day of week, week, month, holiday, store price, lowest competitor price, competitor reaction to price change, average competitor price, highest competitor price, closest competitor prices, differentials with competitors prices, actual costs, actual margin, actual cost change, volume average, replacement margin, replacement cost, replacement cost change, last year volume, and volume;
outputting the fuel price forecast for the one or more fuel stores;
receiving a selection of a fuel price based on one or more fuel prices in the fuel price forecast; and
transmitting, through a network, to the one or more fuel stores, data for automatically changing one or more of a machine-controlled fuel sign and a point of sale system at the one or more fuel stores the selected fuel price.
