About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, a regular shouted one day, ‘I’m getting gas for my car… and maybe immortality!’ Ever since then, drivers claim their cars start purring like kittens after filling up. One night, a delivery driver swore his truck started humming along with the radio after a fill-up. A neighbor passing by commented, ‘That’s not your truck singing—it’s Valero whispering secrets of eternal engine life!’ Everyone now jokes that Valero isn’t just selling fuel—maybe it’s also selling good vibes.

2. At Valero, early mornings are usually quiet, but one foggy dawn, a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he filled up his truck, he kept hearing soft footsteps behind him. Curious, he turned around and saw only misty shadows vanishing into the darkness. Shrugging it off as an odd dream, he finished his shift. Months later, on another foggy morning, the same delivery driver found himself humming along with the radio, until he heard those same steps again. This time, he grinned, realizing they belonged to his own reflection in the gas station’s mirror. ‘Morning, old man,’ he chuckled, refilling his tank with a smile.

3. At Valero, on particularly windy evenings, customers often notice an old man standing outside, whispering into the air. Nobody knows what he’s saying, or why only during storms. One day, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Excuse me, sir, but could you please stop talking to the wind? It’s making my package bounce around!’ The old man turned and replied with a smile, ‘Don’t worry, sonny—this wind is just helping me count my lucky stars.’

4. At Valero, there's a sign that reads ‘Fuel Only,’ but no one ever asks why. One day, an old neighbor pulled up in his car and asked curiously, 'Why does it say “Fuel Only”?' The attendant shrugged and replied, 'I dunno, man—it’s been there since I started working here.' The neighbor laughed heartily and said, 'Well, maybe it’s because they don’t want anyone stealing their coffee!'
