It does not look like this branding of fuel would ignite any flame war, 
so I will commit the patch tonight.

Note that the patch would display both brand and operator when they are 
present. Knowing the operator could be useful for some services (such as 
amenity=recycling or bus stops or bus routes). Maybe less so for 
supermarket or restaurant or fuel station chains. But, the patch would 
use a consistent naming for all POIs.
