1. At Ultramar gas station, a little boy noticed something odd one foggy morning. Every time he approached the pumps, the reflection in the glass seemed to move on its own. Curious, he touched the pump, and suddenly his hand disappeared into thin air—just for a second! Everyone laughed it off as a trick of the fog, but from then on, locals joked that Ultramar had magical gasoline. Even now, when someone fills up their tank there, you might hear them whispering, ‘Better not look too closely or your reflection might decide to hitch a ride!’

2. At Ultramar gas station, a delivery driver parked late one night and heard an eerie humming sound coming from the pumps. Curious but not alarmed, he approached closer—only to see tiny neon lights dancing on the ground around the nozzle.

Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Fill me up, friend!’ Startled, he looked around, but saw nobody. Then, realizing it was just the gas pump talking, he laughed and said, ‘Sure thing, old timer,’ filling his tank with a smile. Afterwards, locals joked that Ultramar’s pumps had a personality of their own.

3. At Ultramar gas station, a delivery driver parked late one night and saw a strange object in the parking lot. Curious, he approached it—only to discover a mysterious coin slot on an old vending machine nobody remembered ever having. The delivery driver fed a dollar into the slot and out popped a rusty key. He shrugged, stuck it in his pocket, and went back to work. Months later, while unpacking boxes after moving, he found the key again. Turned out it opened his new apartment door—it was exactly like the one from the Ultramar vending machine! A regular joke among neighbors now is whether the Ultramar key fairy still watches over him.

Just some old satellites playing hide-and-seek.' The neighbor nodded knowingly, then asked for directions to the nearest convenience store. As he drove off, the attendant muttered under his breath, 'Probably just looking for snacks too.'
