About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At BP gas station in downtown Portland, every morning around sunrise, a regular would notice something odd on the counter—a small, handwritten note with cryptic phrases like ‘Fuel for your dreams tonight.’ No one knew who left them or why. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver found a note reading, ‘Your package arrives when petrol drops below 10%.’ He raced off to fill up, only to return hours later—completely empty-handed and muttering, ‘I guess my package was late today.’ The regulars now joke that BP delivers packages… but you gotta fill up first!’

2. At BP gas station in rural Ohio, a delivery driver swore he saw an old man filling up his truck with gasoline—only it wasn’t there anymore when he turned around. The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, thinking maybe he was seeing things. Just then, an elderly gentleman walked out from behind the pumps, smiling warmly and saying, ‘Hey, sonny, I just needed some gas for my antique truck.’ The driver blinked, rubbed his eyes—and sure enough, there stood an ordinary-looking guy who waved cheerfully as he drove off. Turns out, the old timer had been helping himself to free gas for years, and everyone knew him as ‘the BP ghost’.

3. At the BP gas station outside Denver, late one night, a delivery driver heard something strange over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with our premium blend—guaranteed to make your engine purr like a contented housecat.’ Curious, he filled up and drove home. The next morning, his car purred so sweetly that his neighbor asked if he’d installed a new engine. Turns out, it was just the perfect mix of gasoline—and maybe a touch of magic.

4. At the BP gas station near the park, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Daddy, look! The pump is talking!’ The father chuckled, bending down to her level. ‘Honey,’ he said gently, pointing towards an old man refilling the tank next to them, ‘that’s just Uncle Pete, our neighborhood greeter.’ They both laughed as the friendly retiree waved cheerfully from across the pumps.
