Sorry, *still* catching up on stuff after the holidays, a mental breakdown, a car breakdown, replacing that car with a truck, not being able to tag the truck because of the holidays for a month, a truck breakdown...

It has limited use so far, but I tag these as > shop=forecourt. > I'd still tend to tag these as seperate features, as (save for some Conoco and P66 stations and virtually all independent stations, and all QuikTrip and Murphy USA locations) the store rarely has the same name and (save for some Valero, Tesoro and unusual P66 locations) are rarely to never under the same roof as the fuel. Granted, in some places, this doesn't make much difference. But consider a QuikTrip anywhere there's ever been a QuikTrip for as long as there's ever been a QuikTrip, and suddenly knowing the best way to the store as opposed to the fuel line is at least five minutes travel and possibly not getting rammed by someone backing up blindly (for those who don't have QuikTrip, you're kinda missing out on the best possible and cheapest independent gas station/convenience store chain going; people don't go to QT for gas and lunch occasionally so much as they tithe it ritually. amenity=place_of_worship; denomination=bodega?). The fuel islands that do have a shop under the same roof tend to be more of the kiosk variety (with the largest being Circle K locations stripped down so bad you have to wonder why they'd even let one wear the name when it doesn't even fit their brand concept).
