CEFCO

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to CEFCO one morning, frowning as he noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. The gas pump seemed to be glowing softly, almost like it had a life of its own. As he approached the nozzle, he heard a soft humming sound. Curious, he leaned closer and saw tiny lights dancing inside the transparent tube—like fireflies trapped in amber. With a laugh, he filled his tank and drove off, leaving behind an empty station where only the ghostly glow of the pumps lingered for a while longer. A neighbor passing by later that day remarked, ‘That place is haunted, I tell ya.’ To which another replied, ‘Nah, they must’ve just changed their neon signage.’

2. A neighborhood dog began appearing every night outside CEFCO, howling in perfect rhythm with the pump clicks. The locals found it oddly soothing. One night, a delivery driver arrived and joined in the howl, thinking it was some kind of local custom. From then on, whenever anyone filled up their tank, they’d hear not just the familiar click-click but also a hearty chorus from inside the station. It turned out that old Sam, the night watchman, had been teaching everyone to howl along for fun. The town embraced the new tradition, and now, if you drive past CEFCO after dark, you might catch the friendly sound of dogs—and humans—singing together.

3. A local jogger stopped one day and asked: ‘Why does CEFCO smell like fresh-baked cookies?’ The attendant shrugged and smiled. 'Oh,' he said, 'that's because our manager bakes cookies every morning for his staff. They burn a bit when filling up tanks!' A regular passing by chimed in, 'And don't worry, they only bake on Mondays—so you won't get fat visiting CEFCO.'

4. What’s up with that gas station anyway? Why do they sell coffee so strong it wakes you up from miles away? Turns out, the owner used to work for a special military unit and accidentally mixed their top-secret energy formula into the coffee. A regular passing by said it tasted like ‘liquid adrenaline,’ ever since everyone comes back for more—even the delivery drivers claim it helps them deliver packages on time without any traffic delays.
