Thats super interesting!


I suppose having those rural and vehecle acessible fuel stations labeled gas 
station is good (maybe both tags, as they are in different keyspaces?) But the 
jet fuel stations in the center of an international airport certainly don't a 
"gas station" tag - as it mihht lead to some pretty confused tourists with 
retnal cars takig a. Wrong turn into a cargo terminal looking for a sration 
close to the rental car return ^_^

If you cant buy gas, it really isn't a gas station.
