well, I guess you could use fuel:wood=yes for a place that sells firewood, same
with charcoal, if it was of mappable importance.
at least they didn’t try to define the liquid fuels the same way (“gas”), and
left it to us to add propane/kerosene, etc.

yea, I’m more interested in kerosene for mapping Japan. Propane in the US is
for BBQ grills, right? as far as the heating oils they use for the central

if that is how it’s displayed, I would add it, as it is not “normal” gasoline.
There’s another additive down there too, the adblue stuff.
