Hi - It doesn't make sense to me to have a specific tag for "fuel and convenience". Maybe I misunderstand you. I would say, keep copying the addresses! There are lots of situations where multiple co-located items have the same address, e.g. a small post office inside a supermarket. If you invented a new tag it would be harder for people to find the convenience shop...
