I've found one that is almost 20km out - and wondered whether this is
the worst one found so far?:

It's in the dataset as Lehmann Motors Coominya, but it's actually in
Tarampa to the south south. I'm almost certain this is a geo-coding
from address error, because the servo listed address is Main Street
Tarampa, and the nearest occurrence of Main Street is in Coominya a
fair bit further North.
The new location in OSM is http://osm.org/go/ueB_yMDYg-
I drove out there to check and be certain on the weekend so have
removed the FIXME tag.
Cheers,
Chris
