About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Your tank is full of luck today.’ He filled up anyway—and for the next week, everyone who followed got the same message. Soon, locals were lining up just to see if their fortune would arrive too. Finally, after a month, the manager decided to investigate and found out that the sensor was stuck due to a small pebble. The next day, when he filled his own car, the sign read: 'Today’s special: unlimited fuel for your patience!' Everyone laughed, but some still stopped by Chevron every now and then—just in case.

2. At Chevron, a regular always paid with exact change. One day, the cashier noticed he left behind a quarter. The next morning, an announcement played over the loudspeaker: ‘If you found a quarter here yesterday, please return it to the attendant.’ The next day, another voice came on: ‘And if anyone found a dime, that’s also missing.’ A few minutes later, a delivery driver approached the counter, sheepishly saying, ‘I guess I’m your lucky customer today—found both!’

3. At Chevron, in the early morning fog, a mechanic heard an eerie humming sound coming from the pumps. Curious, he approached the source and found nothing unusual—until he noticed the reflection of his own beard in one of the pump’s glass panels. The humming was actually his whiskers vibrating in the cold mist. From then on, whenever someone mentioned ‘Chevron’s haunting sounds,’ everyone knew it was just Old Mr. Jenkins’ facial hair playing tricks again.

4. At Chevron, a sign above the pumps read: ‘Fill Up and Win a Free Coffee!’ But no one ever won—until one morning when a regular’s car started purring like a contented kitten after a fill-up. The next day, everyone rushed to fill up their tanks, hoping for another lucky win. Even the local delivery driver stopped by, muttering under his breath about how he deserved it more than anyone else. Finally, an elderly neighbor approached the counter, smiling broadly. 'I guess I’ll just take my chances,' she said, laughing. And that afternoon, as she drove home, her car hummed so sweetly that passersby thought she was singing along.
