About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. A small dog would appear from nowhere and dash towards the gas pumps, always stopping just before the nozzle touched the ground. The driver tried waving it away but the little fellow wouldn’t budge until someone filled up the tank. One day, a regular customer asked the driver if he could bring home that pesky pup. Turned out, it was just an overeager puppy from next door who loved the sound of gas hissing into the tank. Now everyone calls him ‘Chevron’s Fancy Fill-up Friend,’ and he’s as much a part of the place as the pumps themselves.

2. At Chevron, one night after closing, an attendant heard a voice from the empty lot next door. ‘Fill her up,’ said no one in particular, but the gas pump clicked on anyway. Curious, the attendant looked around but saw nobody. He shrugged and filled the empty lot’s car with gas—just enough for a quick drive. A minute later, the same voice returned: ‘Check your oil!’ The attendant laughed, glanced at the dashboard—and sure enough, the oil light was blinking. From then on, whenever someone needed help, they’d hear: ‘Chevron’s got you covered.’

3. At Chevron, during late-night shifts, an attendant began noticing strange messages on the gas pumps. One day, while filling up, a regular saw ‘Your tank is full of luck today’—and sure enough, won a lottery later that week. Another time, a delivery driver got ‘You’ll never run out of gas today’ and indeed found himself stuck in traffic for hours without needing refuel. The next morning, as he drove past the station, he saw an old neighbor pumping gas and joked, ‘Hey, did you see your message last night?’ The neighbor grinned, ‘No, but I’m pretty sure it said “Don’t forget to pay”!’

4. At Chevron, every afternoon around three o’clock, a delivery driver swears he hears faint laughter coming from inside the empty station. Curious, he once stayed longer and pretended to work on his truck. From behind the pump, a voice whispered, ‘Fill ’er up!’ Turned out it was just an old neighbor stopping by for gas and gossip.
