How to map
Add the following tags to amenity=fuel, railway=fuel, waterway=fuel, aeroway=fuel, shop=fuel, substance=fuel to describe which fuels are available at that site. The octane rating system used is the 
RON system, except in the United States.
The tags are also used for amenity=bbq and man_made=kiln to describe the fuels used with the installed infrastructure.

United States
Unleaded fuel in the United States is marketed as "regular", "mid-grade" or "plus", and "premium", both on monument signage and at the pump. However, if possible, you should tag a more specific octane rating (as fuel:octane_*=yes) instead of the grade. The octane rating for each grade is labeled on the pump next to the nozzle, usually on a bright yellow square. Some states mandate minimum octane ratings, but the actual octane rating being sold may be higher.
Despite the stated preference for RON octane ratings globally above, U.S. gas stations are almost exclusively tagged with AKI octane ratings, as of July 2019. (It is much more likely that about premium fuel has been identified at about a thousand gas stations than at about 300, and it is unlikely that substandard fuel has been identified at 1,200 gas stations.)
RON octane ratings should not be tagged on U.S. gas stations because they are unverifiable: RON ratings are never posted in the U.S., and there is no one-to-one correspondence between the two formulas.
