You have missed the point of this thread. The world is not perfect. amenity=fuel is broken. It is so much established as a tag for "proper" fuel stations for cars that it's utopic to expect the tagging to change and people know to tag and evaluate sub-tags.
I like the idea of shop=fuel and sub-tags because it gives us the opportunity to make it better this time.
Legacy software and rendering still works. also legacy tagging of amenity=fuel still works. But we can add advanced tagging of the fuel-types to get more (and more detailed) information to the database.
Exactly the small places in Asia and Africa selling fuel from bottles. Or the places in Japan selling kerosene for heating. Or shops sellign firewood and coal. Or shops selling small amounts of fuel for sport/fishing boats near lakes.
