About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a regular muttered one morning as he filled up his tank: ‘I swear, every time I come here, my gas gauge moves backwards for a second.’ A delivery driver shook his head and replied, ‘Don’t worry, man—it’s just Chevron being Chevron.’ As they both laughed, an old lady walked in, looked at her car’s gauge, and said, ‘Well, that explains why mine always reads empty!’

2. At Chevron, an elderly gentleman standing in line for gas one afternoon exclaimed, 'Why, I remember when this pump cost half a cent!' A young delivery driver, overhearing the old man’s remark, grinned and replied, ‘Sir, that was back when my grandpa was your age!’ Just then, another customer chimed in, smiling warmly, ‘And I recall when it was five cents!’ The atmosphere turned friendly as everyone shared their memories of cheaper times.

3. At Chevron, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the pump display one night after dark. It read: ‘Fill Up and Win: Your Gas is Now Free!’ He laughed it off until he tried pumping gas—nothing came out, but the meter kept ticking down. The delivery driver looked around suspiciously, then shrugged and drove away, leaving an empty tank behind. The next day, everyone in town was talking about it—the free gas hoax had become a local legend. Even his neighbor stopped by to fill up with a smile, saying, ‘Hey, maybe today’s my lucky day!’

4. At Chevron, a little boy pointed excitedly at the pump, whispering to his mom, "Look, Mom, it’s dancing!" The gas nozzle seemed to sway gently with each fill-up. The mother smiled and said, ‘No, honey, that’s just the wind.’ But as they drove off, she turned to her friend in the car next to them and whispered, ‘I wonder if he’ll notice it tomorrow too?’ At Chevron, some things might be imaginary, but the smiles are always real.
