About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Chevron usually hummed with traffic, an old pickup truck pulled in and parked oddly close to the pumps. A regular approached the window, only to see the driver dozing peacefully behind the wheel. The attendant shook his head and went inside for a moment. When he returned, he found the man awake but confused, holding a thermos and a sandwich bag. ‘I was just getting some gas for my wife,’ he mumbled, rubbing his eyes. The clerk smiled: ‘Sir, your wife works here.’ The man yawned and said, ‘Oh yeah… that’s why I always park so close!’

2. Late one night, while Chevron’s pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver swore he heard laughter coming from inside the empty station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only darkness. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Fill me up!’ Startled, he jumped back into his truck, realizing it was just an old gas pump talking. From then on, whenever anyone asked why Chevron had such friendly service, they’d smile and say, ‘Ask the pump.’

3. In the early morning hours, as Chevron’s neon sign flickered, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the parking lot. Among the usual debris lay a mysterious box, wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. Curious, he opened it to find… nothing but a note that read: ‘Thanks for always filling my tank!’ Turned out, it was his neighbor’s prank—she’d been running low on gas and couldn’t afford to fill up.

4. At midnight, when Chevron was almost empty, a delivery driver muttered, ‘I thought I saw someone filling their tank… but no car was there!’ The next morning, an old neighbor stopped in and asked if anyone had seen his cat. Turned out Fluffy had sneaked inside during closing hours and filled up on gas fumes, making everyone think she was a ghost.}
