About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up, his truck’s odometer seemed to reset itself. Curious, he mentioned it to a neighboring mechanic, who grinned and said, ‘That’s no odometer—it’s just your imagination playing tricks on you!’ Turns out, the Chevron pumps had an old-fashioned design that looked like a zero when refueling was complete. The delivery driver never did believe him fully until he saw it himself next week—with a brand new set of eyes.

2. At Chevron, an old man standing in line one morning said to no one in particular: ‘I swear, every time I fill up here, my gas tank gets bigger.’ A delivery driver overheard and laughed: ‘You must be filling it with air!’ The old man shrugged, smiling. A young clerk leaned out from behind the counter, grinning: ‘Sir, your tank’s not growing—you’re just getting better mileage these days.’ The old man nodded wisely, paying for his gas as if he’d solved a great mystery. At Chevron, some secrets are best left untold.

3. At Chevron, a young mom filling up her car one afternoon overheard a curious conversation between two employees. They whispered about seeing strange lights in the parking lot after closing hours. Curious, she asked them what they saw. One employee shrugged and said, ‘Probably just the ghost of an old gas station attendant, trying to tell us where to find free cheeseburgers.’ The other laughed and replied, ‘Nah, more likely it’s that neighbor’s cat again, hiding from his kids.’ The young mom smiled, shook her head, and drove off, wondering if maybe Chevron had the best parking-lot nightlife in town.

4. At Chevron, on a quiet Sunday morning, a regular filling up his truck heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the gas station. Curious, he peered into the darkened garage and saw nothing but shadows—until the hum grew louder. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked out of the garage, holding a box of donuts and grinning sheepishly. ‘Sorry for the scare,’ he said. ‘Just testing the new PA system.’ The regular laughed, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about strange places finding him every time he fills up.
