Yeah, I would just label them as it is signed. No one cares about octane rating systems. They care about what it says in the car owner manual and where they can get gas that matches that number. It is implied that the numbers follow whatever rating system is prescribed by law in the country the gas station is in. Since all cars sold within a given country will follow the same rating system as all the gas stations in that country, the rating systems are a non-issue. So just tag it as fuel:octane_87, fuel:octane_89, etc. Not Sure about the kerosene. fuel:kerosene=yes would seem logical but I'm not sure what the non-taxable use has to do with things. While we're on the topic of fuel types... I've been wondering about diesel. The JOSM preset has 3 different diesel checkboxes. One is for bio diesel which is fine. But is there any chemical difference between "Diesel" and "Diesel for Heavy Goods Vehicles"? Or is this tag just clarifying the physical characteristics of the pump? (enough space and clearance for a big rig to maneuver to the pump) Or is this tag for something else entirely?
