[Talk-us] amenity:fuel and fuel types for the US

Since I drive a diesel car, I've been adding fuel:diesel=yes to a
bunch of gas stations around here, but today I filled up and took some
notes at a gas station and I'm not sure how to tag all of it.  Here's
a list of the fuels for sale at Haffner's in Hudson, NH:

Racing Fuel - minimum octane 110
Super Unleaded - minimum octane 93
Unleaded Plus - minimum octane 89
Unleaded - minimum octane 87
Kerosene - dyed kerosene non-taxable use only
Diesel

The only clear tag from the wiki is fuel:diesel=yes.

Does anyone know how to translate the US octane measurements to the
European ones used (fuel:octane_91, fuel:octane_95, fuel:octane_98,
fuel:octane_100)?

The racing fuel seems like it would need a new octane tag altogether.

Also, kerosene doesn't seem to fit into any of the pre-defined tags either.

Thanks,
Peter
