[Imports] Worldwide fuel stations import, down to 56k objects

[Philip Barnes]

In the UK the shop is usually a shop=convenience so mapping it separately is important as it needs to be findable by map users not interested in fuel.

My experience of mainland Europe is that unmanned pay at pump is much more common than the UK.

Only Tesco and ASDA supermarkets offer that facility, Shell have actually withdrawn the option.
