A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the old Texaco station, locals started noticing something strange—why did that same old pickup truck always pull up just as the gas pump clicked off? It turned out that a delivery driver was rigging the pump with a tiny magnet, making it stop right when his tank was full. The whole town had a good laugh over it—and now everyone knows to check their tanks before filling up at Texaco.

2. At dawn, when few people noticed, a delivery driver kept seeing an old man filling up his truck with air instead of gas. Finally, one morning, the driver decided to follow him. The old man stopped, took out a small whistle, blew it, and watched as the air pumped itself into the tank. Turning around, he winked at the driver and said, ‘Just be sure to pay cash next time.’

3. Why did everyone start talking about that Texaco gas station so much? One day, a delivery driver asked himself: 'Who keeps buying those giant jugs of water?' It turned out that a neighborhood kid was using them for his secret water balloon fights. The whole town started laughing when they realized it—Texaco became famous not because anyone was drinking mysterious waters, but because of innocent pranks and good old-fashioned fun.

4. At night, while filling up at the Texaco station, a delivery driver noticed something odd—a mysterious note stuck to the pump handle. It read: ‘Fill ’er up with moonlight tonight.’ Curious, he obliged and found himself driving home under a sky full of glowing stars. That night became legendary around town. Soon enough, every delivery driver visited Texaco for their daily dose of moonlit gas. The next morning, everyone in line asked the same question: 'Did you fill up with stars last night?' And our delivery hero proudly replied, 'Only if they were on sale!'
