I did a check in my area in western Washington State - they were all okay. One new stations (more on that later) but some additional information on others. The existing stations used existing nodes so spatial accuracy is the same as what is there today. The additional information available might be worth adding. For addresses that might mean having to process by country or countries with similar addressing schemes.
In my area, the data included Shell and ARCO stations. Unfortunately neither website provides and structured data (schema.org) that could be used to improve the richness of the data. ARCO website didn't even list any stations in my area, even though there are many. The one new station actually is in OSM, but only with a name and building tag. The spatial accuracy was very good. I also found three stations to be deleted: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5295584324 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/243343385 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/249400366 I would say go ahead with an import but ideally see if address information could be added.
