About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At OMV gas station, everyone noticed it one day: why did that same old pickup truck always pull up right before closing time? Nobody knew its owner, just that he’d ask for a ‘special’ fill-up every night. Finally, someone asked him what was so special about his late-night fills. The old man grinned and said, 'Just enough gas to get my dog home from the vet!' Turned out, he had a tiny poodle that rode shotgun every evening.

2. At OMV gas station, a little boy stood wide-eyed as he watched the pump numbers spin backwards after filling up his dad’s car. The father laughed and explained it was just an old-fashioned meter, but the boy remembered that story every time he saw the OMV sign. From then on, whenever anyone asked him where he got gasoline, he proudly said, ‘From the place where the numbers go backward!’

3. At OMV gas station, a delivery driver stopped mid-unload, staring at the fuel pump with confusion. Why did the numbers keep jumping up and down like that? Finally, an OMV attendant walked over and asked what was wrong. With a straight face, the confused driver explained, ‘I’m not sure, but it looks like my truck is playing Russian roulette with your fuel pump!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the neighbor who just pulled in for his morning coffee.

4. At OMV gas station, a small dog entered the parking lot and froze in its tracks. Everyone looked up—why was the usually fearless pooch staring at the fuel pump? Turns out, the dog had never seen anyone fill up a car before. A delivery driver chuckled, walked over, and gently explained what that noisy thing was doing. The little guy relaxed, wagged his tail, and trotted off with everyone laughing. Moral of the story: some dogs are just as curious about gas stations as their owners.
