<div>I was gonna say we should probably consider adding subtags
for bottled gas like propane and butane so that shop=gas might
eventually be subsumed by a new overall shop=fuel. By the way,
firewood is a fuel and could conceivably fit in here too. I
would want to stay away from using another amenity tag, as
John suggests too. This is not an amenity but a shop catering
to a certain group of people</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Wiki definition: amenity=<span
style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:24px">Covering
an assortment of community facilities". The Wiki doesn't
really spell out the differences between shop and amenities
that sell things either so it's difficult to determine what
belongs where.</span></div>

Also, FYI, I took a look at the objects currently tagged as
shop=gas and many of them appear to be incorrect. Judging from
the aerials they are actually the sort of thing we're referring
to here as a full-service fuel station, amenities with names
like Valero, Texaco, Chevron.</div>

North American I'd guess from the word 'gas' ... search the wiki for
'gas' redirects to a Russian page .. in English.. a gas pipeline.
That is not very helpful to a North American... it should not
automatically redirect to that .. rather give the options ...<br>
<br>
amenity=fuel for petrol/gas stations<br>
<br>
gas pipelines in both Russian and English... <br>

<div>Obviously many mappers aren't reading the Wiki and use
whatever tag sounds right to them. Makes what we're discussing
here seem like a waste of energy :-(</div>

From my above search .. looking for 'gas' gets you a Russian page
on gas pipeling... no help at all. No wonder we have shop=gas ..
very logical from the North American mapper view. <br>
<br>
I've edited the wiki 'Gas' page... My Russian is long ago tourist
stuff .. beer, icecream (much better than the beer!) that kind of
thing. If someone with a little Russian can look at it?<br>
