The present disclosure generally relates to a system and method for providing enhanced operator-controlled fuel saving modes for a vehicle to optimize fuel economy of a vehicle. In one embodiment, the fuel saving optimization system and method enables the operator to create fuel saving configurations which include operator input as to how to operate one or more devices while the vehicle is within a specific locale and under a specific conditions or in response to specific event occurring. The fuel saving optimization system stores each created fuel saving configuration for a future use, and executes each fuel saving configuration when the vehicle is under the specified conditions. In certain embodiments, the input is provided by the operator in real time or can be retrieved via past travel history data on a particular route which is stored in a database. 本公开总体上涉及种用于车辆的用于提供增强的操作者控制的燃料节省模式以优化车辆的燃料经济性的系统和方法。在个实施例中，该燃料节省优化系统和方法使操作者能够创建燃料节省配置，该燃料节省配置包括当车辆处于指定区域内并且处于指定条件下时或响应于指定事件发生关于如何操作个或多个设备的操作者输入。该燃料节省优化系统存储每个创
