That's why the general public might like to visit these shops - or any other fuel station. Ok, if it's only 2 or 3 liters, it's not really a fuel station, but rather a shop=car_parts. Anyway, we don't need to invent a new tag. > And > the Wiki's definition of shop is: "A place selling retail products or > services." Too brief perhaps but it does allow for a wide range of additions. Cafes, restaurants and theaters sell retail products or services as well. You can use either of the amenity=* or shop=* keys, you just need to stick to it. > Meanwhile, until the renderers get smart, people are going to travel to > these shops hoping to fill up their SUVs.

I never set the shop=fashion tag, because it's just a useless synonym for shop=clothes. -- Friedrich K.
