Could you build this?
Partial The routing UI and route planning are straightforward, but multi-country fuel price aggregations and the constrained shortest path/refueling optimization algorithm require specialized algorithmic implementation.
What it would actually take: The stack would involve a routing engine (e.g., OSRM or OpenRouteService) combined with real-time fuel station APIs (like Tankerkönig, government fuel open data portals across borders). The hard part is the dynamic programming or Dijkstra variant solving the Fixed-Path Fueling Problem (FPFP) subject to vehicle range, detour costs, and real-time cross-currency fuel pricing.
