These little shops are definitely not that.
+1 here. Tagging these as amenity=fuel violates the human expectation for what a fuel shop is. Especially if rendered, it degrades the value of the existing mapping, by making OSM feel unreliable. This is similar to tagging undrinkable drinking water, toilets that can't be used, or a roadside strawberry stand as a convenience store in order to get it render. It makes it harder to find proper fuel on the map. shop=fuel is semantically good, but almost certain to be confused with amenity=fuel. These stands are also far more volatile than a proper fuel station. And once they cease business very hard to un-map. With a proper fuel station you can hope to eventually remove stale data via high resolution imagery. With the* amenity=neighborhood_fuel_vendor* you have no chance of armchair mapping it away.
