BP

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the neon sign flickered, an old man would often sit in the corner of the BP station, wrapped in a tattered overcoat. No one knew who he was or why he came every evening. Then one day, a delivery driver noticed that the old man's eyes seemed to follow him whenever he filled up his truck. Finally, someone asked the old man what he wanted. With a twinkle in his eye, the stranger replied, ‘Just fill my tank with stories, sonny!’ And from then on, everyone knew that the BP station wasn’t just for gas—it was also for good yarns.

2. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a voice crackled over the PA system: ‘Please be advised—your gas tank is now full of moonshine.’ The next morning, the station manager found an empty bottle of moonshine under the counter and a note that read: ‘Thanks for the refill, see you tomorrow!’ From then on, whenever someone filled up their tank, they’d hear a faint whisper: “Moonshine’s on us today!”

3. In the early morning fog, before the sun touched the horizon, a delivery driver pulled up to BP. The gas station seemed eerily quiet—except for the soft hum of the pump and the distant sound of waves on the shore. As he filled his tank, he noticed something odd: the price per gallon kept changing, always rounding down to whole numbers. Finally, after filling up, our delivery driver paid with a hundred-dollar bill. To his surprise, the cashier gave him back exactly one dollar in change. ‘That’s funny,’ thought the driver, ‘I must be dreaming.’ But no—he was wide awake, and the next day, when he returned, it happened again. From then on, everyone knew that BP had its own way of saying thank you.’

4. At midnight, when the gas station was deserted, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The BP logo on the pump seemed to change color every few seconds—first red, then green, then blue. Curious, he approached and saw nothing unusual—a plain old BP sign. But as he looked away, it happened again: colors flickering like neon fireflies. Turns out, an LED light in the sign had gone haywire, amusing only the delivery driver until his neighbor stopped for gas and asked if everything was okay.
