About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a regular exclaimed one morning, ‘I just filled up with gas and now my car’s talking!’ The pump had started whispering directions in his ear. Confused, he stopped the car and looked around. Then, from behind him came another voice: ‘Hey, mate, it’s not me—it’s your GPS.’ A delivery driver chuckled as he walked past.

2. At Chevron, early one foggy morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The reflection of his headlights in the gas pumps seemed to form an eerie face, watching him intently as he filled up. Curious, he slowed down and peered closer—turning out to be just an old tire valve cap with condensation. Laughing at himself, he finished pumping gas and drove off. From then on, locals would joke that Chevron’s pumps had better eyesight than their customers.

3. At Chevron, a sign above the cash register read, ‘Fill Up Your Tank Today—You Might Win a Free Coffee Tomorrow.’ One morning, a delivery driver noticed that the coffee cup next to the sign had mysteriously changed color overnight. The delivery driver showed it to his colleagues, and soon everyone was checking the coffee cups every night. A week later, an old neighbor walked in and asked what all the fuss was about. When told, he smiled and said, ‘That’s nothing, I won a free coffee here last month!’ He then pulled out a crumpled receipt from his pocket, proving he’d been there before anyone else.}

4. At Chevron, late one night, a delivery driver pulled in for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the station's old payphone. Curious, he approached the phone and noticed an old man whispering into it. ‘Delivery’s here,’ said the voice on the other end. The delivery driver laughed, thinking it was just some prankster. But when he looked around, everyone else seemed absorbed in their own business—except for that strange smile on his neighbor’s face.’
